  • Pays the price, works the seasons through
    Frozen days, he thinks of you
    Cold as ice but he burns for you
    Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?

    Mother's son, freedom's overdue
    Lonely man, he thinks of you
    He isn't done, only lives for you
    Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?

    Punished for his written thoughts
    Starving for his fame
    Working blindly, building blocks
    Number for a name, his blood flows frozen to the snow

    Red blood, white snow
    He knows frozen rivers won't flow
    So cold, so true
    Mother Russia-he cries for you

    Ooh ooh
    Bah dah dah dah

    Punished for his written thoughts
    Starving for his fame
    Working blindly, building blocks
    Number for a name his blood flows frozen to the snow

    Red blood, white snow
    He knows frozen rivers won't flow
    So cold, so true
    Mother Russia-he cries for you Writer/s: BETTY MARY THATCHER, MICHAEL DUNFORD
