But sometimes… In the narrowest room… You hear yourself. My little cell… My concrete garden… [Verse 1] I have two places of my own, One is my heart, one is this room. One cries softly through the night, One stays silent until dawn. Shadows wander on the walls, My heart keeps counting every drop. A window’s worth of fragile hope, A lifetime’s worth of dark. [Pre-Chorus] Freedom is not in stone, Not in iron. Freedom… Must live inside the heart. [Chorus] My little cell… My concrete garden… One side is prison, One side is fate. My heart won’t close, It won’t close on me. Even when the doors are locked, A road remains inside. The homeland is one… The whole world is one… Wherever a person falls, He carries his heart along. [Verse 2] Sometimes my mother comes to mind, Softly, like a whispered prayer. Sometimes I hear a child’s voice, A little peace left from a dream. Who knows who is awake tonight? Who knows who remembers me? I speak with darkness in this room, While morning rises far away. [Pre-Chorus] What good is any palace, If mercy cannot live inside? A room of stone is enough for me, If God is standing by my side. [Chorus] My little cell… My concrete garden… You made a rose rise Through the stone. My heart won’t close, It won’t close on me. Maybe I was broken, But I never disappeared. The homeland is one… The whole world is one… Every place I ever went Still carries part of home. [Bridge] They made my homeland narrow… I scattered through the world… But wherever a person goes, The homeland of the heart stays the same. A childhood scent still lives in me… And all the years that never came back… [Final Chorus] My little cell… My concrete garden… One drop of light, One lifetime of patience. My heart won’t close, It won’t close on me. No matter how much I am broken, One rose remains inside. The homeland is one… The whole world is one… Doors may close, But a soul does not. Walls may rise, But hope does not grow tired. My heart won’t close… It won’t close on me. [Outro] My little cell… My concrete garden… You gave me pain… But inside that pain… You left one rose.
