UNA PALOMA BLANCA George Baker Selection (The Netherlands) When the sun shines on the mountain And the night is on the run It's a new day It's a new way And I fly up to the sun I can feel the morning sunlight I can smell the new-mown hay I can hear God's voice is calling For my golden sky light way Una paloma blanca I'm just a bird in the sky Una paloma blanca Over the mountains I fly No one can take my freedom away Once I had my share of losing for they locked me on a chain Yes they tried to break my power oh I still can feel the pain Una paloma blanca I'm just a bird in the sky Una paloma blanca Over the mountains I fly No one can take my freedom away Una paloma blanca I'm just a bird in the sky Una paloma blanca Over the mountains I fly No one can take my freedom away
