Freedom
Freedom
Bridge 1 and intro
There is something... we all want
There is something... we all need
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom...
yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Freedom to walk alone on the street
never worrying about who we'll meet
Freedom to say what we really mean
freedom of speech shouldn't be just a dream
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, real freedom
Freedom to love, but not to hate
coz, true freedom's always worth the wait
Freedom to always do what's right
to love your neighbor without a fight
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, real freedom
Chorus
Freedom for both the black and white
holding hands in the dead of night
Freedom for the native too...
'cause, he's a part of me and you
Freedom from terror and from fear
when everyday doesn't bring more tears
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, true freedom
Freedom to cross this great big land
freedom to lend a helping hand
Freedom to share this one big world
freedom for every boy and girl
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, real freedom
Bridge 1
There is something we all want
There is something we all need
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom...
yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Chorus
Freedom for both the black and white
holding hands in the dead of night
Freedom for the native too...
'cause, he's a part of me and you
Freedom from terror and from fear
when everyday doesn't bring more tears
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, true freedom
Freedom but ...not to start a war
they start... then forget what they're fighting for
Freedom to call... each other... brother
'cause we've all got... the same father
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, true freedom
Freedom to believe and worship God
believing... shouldn't be so odd
Freedom is there for you and me
the lord said "the truth will set you free"
He was talkin' 'bout freedom
now I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Bridge 1
There is something we all want
There is something we all need
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom...
yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Chorus
Freedom for both the black and white
holding hands in the dead of night
Freedom for the native too...
'cause, he's a part of me and you
Freedom from terror and from fear
when everyday doesn't bring more tears
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
yeah, true freedom
Bridge 1
There is something we all want
There is something we all need
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom...
yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout...
freedom
