Sweet Freedom

No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a diff'rent drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart
Always searchin' for the real thing
Livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key
When you believe it
Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Smilin' with the risin' Sun
Livin' like we've never done
Goin' all the way
Reachin' out to meet the changes
Touchin' every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There's no turnin' back
From what I'm feeling
'Coz there'll be starlight all night
When we're close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they're guiding us
Shinin' till the mornin' light
Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I want to be
Oh, sweet freedom
Carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive
On and on
Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic, magic, baby
Oh, sweet freedom
Carry me along
We'll keep the spirit
Alive, on and on
Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
Shine, sweet freedom
Carry me along
Shine your light on me
We'll keep the spirit
Alive, on and on
Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You are the magic, baby
Oh, sweet freedom
Carry me along
