how can i turn away
brother/sister go dancing
through my head
human as to human
the future is no place
to place your better days
cry freedom cry
from a crowd 10
000 wide
hope laid upon hope
that this crowd will not subside
let this flag burn to dust
and a new a fair design be raised
while we wait head in hands
hands in prayer
and fall into a dreamless sleep again
and we wave our hands
hands and feet are all alike
but gold between divide us
hands and feet are all alike
but fear between divide us
all slip away
there was a window and by it stood
a mirror in which
he could see himself
he thought of something
something he had never had but hoped would come along
cry freedom
cry
from deep inside
where we are all confined
while we wave hands in fire
wave our hands
hands and feet are all alike
but gold between divide us
hands and feet are all alike
but fear between divide us
slip away
in this room stood a little child
and in this room this little child
she would remain
until someone might decide
to dance this little child
across this hall
into a cold
dark
space
where she might never trace her way across this crooked mile
across this crooked page
cry freedom
cry
from deep inside where
we are all confined
till we wave our hands
how can i turn away
brother/sister go dancing
through my head
human as to human
the future is no place
to place your better days
hands and feet are all alike
but gold between divide us
hands and feet are all alike
but fear between divide us
hands and feet are all alike
hear what i say
hear what i say
oh
so be it
how can i turn away
brother/sister go dancing
through my head
human as to human
the future is no place
to place your better days
