Lyrics
How long before we see we have broken those
Chains, .(?)...just like the bird that sings it in
The dream baby we are born free, Oh now, I wan't
You to know now we are in charge of our own
Destiny, Freedom is only but a state of mind,
You've got to leave them shackles behind.
Don't you cry freedom, exercise your freedom,
Don't cry freedom, exercise your freedom, Don't
Cry freedom, it's a state of mind,
Oh.ooooh.cry.don't cry, don't cry... well well,
Well.
Freedom is only but a state of mind, you've got to
Leave them shackles behind. Yeah, Yeah, Some of us
Get to dance on a dream, Every day we pray to that
Which we cannot see, Why is it so, so difficult to
Love that which we see? Love for you and me.
Tell me now, do you like what you see? Are those
Images forced upon us, reflections of you and me,
Don't you let them play upon your mind, you've got
To leave them shackles behind.
.(?).I wan't you to know that, we are each other
Our own destiny, Just like the bird that sings
Within the dreams, baby you are born free, Oh
Yeah, every night oh now, Don't you cry freedom,
Freedom, don't cry, don't cry oh now, freedom,
Don't you cry freedom, exercise your freedom it's
A state of., don't cry Freedom, just like the
Bird that sings within the dream baby you are born
Free.
