freedom song

at night when i lay sleeping

you stole the breath from me

and i dreamed a hundred thousand dreams

and none of them was real

for history will find us

if you bring the world to me

while all we know is all that's been

and none of what may be

let them sing a freedom song

if only for a day

everybody loves a freedom song

for how long

when people rise above themselves

to find that waiting mends

then all the walls come tumbling down

and things begin to end

then guide us to the wilderness

my enemy and me

with time and you against me too

the hour draws ever near

let them sing a freedom song

if only for a day

everybody loves a freedom song

let them sing a freedom song

if only for a day

everybody loves a freedom song

for how long

let them sing a freedom song

if only for a day

everybody loves a freedom song

let them sing a freedom song

if only for a day

everybody loves a freedom song

for how long
