Don't Cry Freedom Lyrics

How long before we see, we have broken those chains?
Oh, God, [Incomprehensible]
Just like the bird that sings it in the dream
Baby, we are born free

Oh, now, I want you to know now
We are in charge of our own destiny
Freedom's only but a state of mind
You've got to leave them shackles behind

Don't you cry freedom, exercise your freedom
Don't cry freedom, exercise your freedom
Don't cry freedom, it's a state of mind
Oh, ooh, cry, don't cry, don't cry, well, well, well

Freedom's only but a state of mind
You've got to leave them shackles behind, yeah, yeah
Some of us get to dance on a dream
Every day we pray to that which we cannot see

Why is it so, so difficult to love that which we see? Love for you and me

Tell me now, do you like what you see?
Are those images forced upon us, reflections of you and me
Don't you let them play upon your mind
You've got to leave them shackles behind

Oh, now, I want you to know that
We are each other our own destiny
Just like the bird that sings within the dreams
Baby, you are born free

Oh, yeah, every night, oh, now
Don't you cry, freedom, freedom
Don't cry, don't cry, oh, now, freedom

Don't you cry, don't cry, freedom, don't cry
Exercise your freedom, it's a state of, don't cry, freedom
Just like the bird that sings within the dream
Baby, you are born free
