Charles Johnson - Freedom Lyrics

Freedom

[Intro]
Freedom
Freedom around the world
Freedom
Freedom around the world
All around the world, sing
Freedom, (Freedom)
Freedom around the world
Freedom, (Freedom)
Freedom around the world
All around the world

[1. Verse]
I have a dream, constantly
Of a world where we all live in peace
Where our children, grow to see
All men being treated equally
Until that day (Until that day)
It's a long way (Let's find a way)
But we'll succeed if we all lend a hand (If we all lend a hand)
No wrong, no right
No black or white (Let's find a way)
Only together do we stand a chance, ah
And every night I have the very same dream

[Chorus]
Freedom
Tell me when will there be peace
Freedom around the world
Cause that's what we need (That's what we need)
Freedom
Tell me when will we be free
Freedom around the world

[2. Verse]
Now the time has come in our lives
For the world to speak in one voice (Speak in one voice)
Let's get wise, realize
We must all stand up for the cause
Don't be shy (Don't be shy)
To ask why (To ask why)
Why must innocent people die (Why must innocent people die)
Let's ask them when (Tell me when)
When will all the fighting end
And every night I dream, tell me what it means

[Chorus]
Freedom
Tell me when will there be peace
Freedom around the world
Cause that's what we need
Freedom
Tell me when will we be free
Freedom around the world
All around the world, sing
Freedom
When will there be peace
Freedom around the world
Won't somebody tell me
Freedom
When will we be free
Freedom around the world
All around the world

[Rap]
Freedom is what we need right now
Let's find a way to peace somehow
Let's work together to make things better
Hand in hand all across the land

No matter what race color or creed
Freedom is something that we all need
Let's build a safe for our children
Give them a peaceful world to live in

Freedom in the soul of yours and mine
Freedom for the sake of all mankind
Just lift your voice and sing with me
Join the quest, the quest for peace

[Hook]
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Freedom around the world

[Chorus]
Freedom
Tell me when will there be peace
Freedom around the world
Cause that's what we need (That's what we need)
Freedom
When will there be peace
Freedom around the world
All around the world, sing

[Outro]
Canada and Africa, Saudia Arabia (Freedom around the world)
Cause that's what we need (That's what we need, what we need)
America, Australia, England and in Asia
Freedom around the world
All around the world

From Jamaica to Brazil
We will not give in until there is peace (Freedom around the world)
Cause that's what we need
From Spain to Tokyo
We won't stop until we know we are free
All around the world, sing

Canada and Africa, Saudia Arabia (Freedom around the world)
Cause that's what we need (That's what we need, what we need)
America, Australia, England and in Asia
Freedom around the world
All around the world
