Dave Matthews Band - Cry Freedom Lyrics
How can I turn awayBrother/sister go dancingThrough my headHuman as to humanThe future is no placeTo place your better daysCry freedom, cryFrom a crowd 10,000 wideHope laid upon hopeThat this crowd will not subsideLet this flag burn to dustAnd a new a fair design be raisedWhile we wait head in hands,Hands in prayerAnd fall into a dreamless sleep againAnd we wave our handsHands and feet are all alikeBut gold between divide usHands and feet are all alikeBut fear between divide usAll slip awayThere was a window and by it stoodA mirror in whichHe could see himselfHe thought of somethingSomething he had never had butHoped would come alongCry freedom, cryFrom deep insideWhere we are all confinedWhile we wave hands in fireWave our handsHands and feet are all alikeBut gold between divide usHands and feet are all alikeBut fear between divide us,Slip awayIn this room stood a little childAnd in this room this little childShe would remainUntil someone might decideTo dance this little childAcross this hallInto a cold, dark, spaceWhere she might never trace herWay across this crooked mileAcross this crooked pageCry freedom, cryFrom deep inside whereWe are all confinedTill we wave our handsHow can I turn awayBrother/sister go dancingThrough my headHuman as to humanThe future is no placeTo place your better daysHands 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 itHow 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
