Freedom

Don't understand How I could be so blind Something is changing And I don't know why Heaven knows how much I sacrifice (I hear you, I hear you) Now nothing in this world Will ever change her mind Freedom, what she needs She wants freedom 'cause she got dreams In her heart it's time to go A long way from home Yes, it's a long way from home I still remember Her standing there (yeah, baby) The sun was shining On her soft brown hair Well, all my life Every tear I cried I saw the future in her eyes Now her heart says it's time to go A long way from home Freedom is what she needs She wants freedom 'cause she's got dreams And I hope she knows she's not alone 'cause it's a long way from home It's a long way from home I think about her and then I pray That she'll be safe and warm (safe and warm) I get on my knees (down on my knees) Oh lord (oh lord) Freedom is what she needs She wants freedom 'cause she's got dreams Give her freedom to believe Her heart says it's time to go A long way from home Such a long way from home It's a long way from home Freedom (uh huh, that's what I want) Freedom (that's what I need) Freedom (that's what I've got to have) Freedom (oh baby, that's what I've gotta have) Freedom (oh baby, baby) Freedom Freedom, freedom (she needs freedom) Freedom (that's what she needs) (she wants, she wants freedom) Freedom, she wants freedom (she's got to have) Freedom, she wants freedom . . . --- Freedom - Diane Schuur and B.B.
