Cry For Freedom

Well my old friend, is this how you cry for freedom?

When you walk alone out in the cold, you walk alone

Into the night, looking for light, longing for fire

Out of your heart, cry for freedom, out on your own

And you were born, bound in chains, to cry for freedom

You cast a stone, you weren't alone, to cry for freedom

But you cried for more

Your children rise and lift their eyes and cry for freedom

Old men swear and darken the air with clouds of lies

Some for you, some for me, some forever

To heal their hearts they cry for freedom, while freedom cries

And we were born, bound in chains, to cry for freedom

We cast a stone, we weren't alone, to cry for freedom

The ones you love and skies above, cry for freedom

Heavy loads and open roads, cry for freedom

Birth and death and every breath, cry for freedom

Mountains tall, coyotes call

The river wide, the rising tide

The dove that mourns, a crown of thorns, cry for freedom

Horses wild, a laughing child, cry for freedom

Trembling lips, sailing ships

Falling stars, sad guitars

Right and wrong, a lonely song

My old friend, is this how you cry for freedom?
