Cry Freedom
main lyrics
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 ten thousand 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, yeah

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

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

So 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
I wanna dance away

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
