about

Hailing from a prominent Swedish family and guided by his grandfather, Raoul Wallenberg was a young businessman and architect who poured his energy and passion into saving the last Jews of Budapest. In 1944 he rescued tens of thousands of Jews by creating safe spaces and forging passports showing the holder was under the protection of the Swedish government.

lyrics

You always were an archangel on wheels
Honed honesty and love from youthful days
The Swedish diplomat Grandfather feels
That grooming for a higher calling pays

You mobilized your strength from your ideals
You always were an archangel on wheels

In Michigan, architecture appeals
Your public housing projects earn high praise

You mobilized your strength from your ideals
You always were an archangel on wheels

You map your blueprints for life-saving deals
Protecting Jews in houses and railways
For Jews in Budapest your passport seals
Three golden crowns, a Schutzpass boldly says

You mobilized your strength from your ideals
You always were an archangel on wheels

The ledger, tossed in leather case, reveals
The dispatched host who exits in a haze

You mobilized your strength from your ideals
You always were an archangel on wheels

You mobilized your strength from your ideals
You always were an archangel on wheels


Schutzpass (German): Schutz means protection; pass, passport
