Freedom Someday

I'm not chasing miracles

I don't want no sympathy

I'm waiting for the world

To keep me company

Thinking 'bout the universe

Trying to keep my fears at bay

And all I'm hoping for

Is for someone else to want to say

Freedom someday - are you ready to make the deal

Freedom someday - freedom to live for real

I don't want no money

But buddy, can you spare the time of day

'cause silence is, I'm sure

The highest price we pay

I don't wish my troubles on anyone

But I can wish them well

So I'm knocking on your door

'cause there's something I would like to say

Freedom someday - I'm ready to make the deal

Freedom someday - freedom to live for real

Somehow life goes on

But when it's said and done

It's such a bitter pill

When you think the battle's won

You hear the distant guns

Of all those fighting still

The battle's in our heads

One we alway lose

Whichever side we choose

We can paint the planet red

Or black and blue instead

But we are one world

I'm not chasing miracles

But I don't choose to be this way

Now all I'm hoping for

Is for someone else to hear me say

And if our time has come

And if our race is run

Who will pay the bill

When you think the battle's won

You hear the distant guns

Of all those fighting still

But the battle's in our heads

One we always lose

Whichever side we choose

Paint the planet red

Or black and blue instead

But we are one world
