At night when I lay sleeping
You stole the breath from me
And I dreamed a hundred thousand dreams
And none of them was real
For history will find us
If you bring the world to me
While all we know is all that’s been
And none of what may be
Let them sing a freedom song
If only for a day
Everybody loves a freedom song
For how long
When people rise above themselves
To find that waiting mends
Then all the walls come tumbling down
And things begin to end
Then guide us to the wilderness
My enemy and me
With time and you against me too
The hour draws ever near
Let them sing a freedom song
If only for a day
Everybody loves a freedom song
Let them sing a freedom song
If only for a day
Everybody loves a freedom song
For how long
Let them sing a freedom song
If only for a day
Everybody loves a freedom song
Let them sing a freedom song
If only for a day
Everybody loves a freedom song
For how long
