The Baltics Are Waking Up! (Template:Lang-lt, Template:Lang-lv, Template:Lang-et) is a trilingual Baltic song composed for the occasion of the Baltic Way, a large demonstration against the Soviet Union and for independence of the Baltic States in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The song is sometimes called the 'general anthem of the Baltics'. The Lithuanian text was sung by Žilvinas Bubelis, Latvian by Viktors Zemgals, Estonian by Tarmo Pihlap.
