Wrote this while watching Alexei Navalny bravely head back home. In the style of Leonard Cohen.

Lyrics:
I’m flying home
Back to the place my mother raised me
Through the fall of the wall
To the bridge of a martyr
Who died for us all
Fighting against the oligarchy
Enemies of the state
Of a people and their fate

But I’m not afraid
Even if they try to intimidate me
With chemical burns
Then call me the fire-starter
But I’m not the first
And I won’t be the last in a line of trotskys
A dissidents heart
Of a country torn apart

My planes in the air
My friends and our enemies await me
But I’ve seen it all
And though I miss my daughter
Our liberty waiting
Feels like it is our liberty fading
And Dear Vladimir
Is afraid of me here

Emergency change
Somebody called in to divert the airplane
To be in the sky still
Fees like I am treading water
But now I’m on the ground
With these cameras around
You are watching the movie
Return to my people
Return to our duty

Their detaining me
I turn to my wife and kiss her goodbye
There she goes with my attorney
But I have yet to cross the border
While the rest of the world
Glued to my story
Back in my homeland
Back for the glory
