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 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 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 'Til we 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, yeah 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
