Roots of Freedom

They guide every Self Person

Old says hold riches that are never shut

Old ways show things farther the final cut.

Ahead cultures, above uncertain fears

Bodies have met, families have converged -

Will their wills turn beyond tears into clears

And their common wishes remain emerged ?

There is the calm sound of an olive tree

To remind the time spent in wisdom free ;

"L'Olivier" ("The Olive Tree"/"The Oliver"), interpreted by Slimane (Slimane Nebchi) in 2021 (up) ; and Wallen (Nawell Azzouz), songwriter and original performer, 2004 (beneath).

Before - one kingdom might become empty

But the gloomy lights can not doom pretty

Souls - are heartened to go further the wall

To discover and build oneself world ball.
