Joey Tempest (with John Norum) : “Right to respect“ - with lyrics.

From Joey Tempest 1995 solo album “A place to call home“. Even if I liked the lyrics, this song was not among my very favorites until I payed attention to the guitar. That’s how I really began to appreciate John Norum... “No one owns the waters, no one owns the earth. No one owns the mountains, the flowers and the dirt. No one owns a race, colours can not hurt. But we own the right to respect, one and all. No one owns the words spoken by someone who’s fighting for his right, just to be treated like someone. No one owns the hope that burns in everyone. But we own the right to respect. And when we say we’ve had enough, we’ve really had enough, and we say we want no more, we really want no more. No one owns a woman, no one owns a man. No one owns a country, the people and their land. No one owns a life, yet I see blood upon your hands. But we own the right to respect, one and all.“ John norum is the guitarist and Joey Tempest is the singer and main songwriter of Sweedish rock band EUROPE. The band, world-wide known for the song “Final Countdown“, reunited in 2004 after a break in the 90’s. Since 2004, they have produced 3 albums: START FROM THE DARK SECRET SOCIETY LAST LOOK AT EDEN.
