For freedom Songtext

von Mike Peters

Feelings growing
Getting stronger
But even now
My hands are tied
Feel restricted
I ca'tn cut loose
This ball and chain that's round my neck

What can I say that's not been said before
Until there's a better way
I'm gonna stay
This way

So gather round
You people to me
And listen now to what I say
Sticks and stones will get us no-where
Nineteen years
Yet we still don't know

What have we learnt
Is this all we can show?
There must be a better way
To end the day

We've got to stand now
And push on through to the other side
We've got to realise that
Violence is not the answer

Here we stand at the edge of time
Once step more into decline
So stand back now
And count our losses
Stand back now
And count our gains

We are one not matter what they say
We must look to the future for all our sakes

We've got to stand now
And push on through to the other side
We've got to realise that
Violence is not the answer

Oh, we're the nation of many colours
But everybody's blood runs red
Cut our wrists and bind together
Too much blood has been spilt in hate

Do it now for your children
For their lives have yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes FOR FREEDOM
FOR FREEDOM

We've got to stand now
And push on through to the other side
We've got to realise that
Violence is not the answer

FOR FREEDOM
FOR FREEDOM
FOR FREEDOM
