in memory of the children of South Africa Freedom! Lifted out of the ashes and into a river of hope A river of joy A river of peace. Cry freedom! Freedom! As a country dies And children die because of What they believe in Cry freedom! Freedom! You jail them in your jails, You ****** them, Torture them, Burn their schools and home But we still Cry freedom! Freedom! You can do all these things And make spoils of it And yet tell them they are not free But we will with all our hearts-- Cry freedom! Freedom! No matter the strife Feeling powerless at times When there is no power But yet we will forever--- Cry freedom! Freedom! You break us down Break our spirits But we forever Cry freedom!!

Freedom Cry
in memory of the children of South Africa Freedom! Lifted out of the ashes and into a river of hope A river of joy A river of peace. Cry freedom! Freedom! As a country dies And children die because of What they believe in Cry freedom! Freedom! You jail them in your jails, You ****** them, Torture them, Burn their schools and home But we still Cry freedom! Freedom! You can do all these things And make spoils of it And yet tell them they are not free But we will with all our hearts-- Cry freedom! Freedom! No matter the strife Feeling powerless at times When there is no power But yet we will forever--- Cry freedom! Freedom! You break us down Break our spirits But we forever Cry freedom!!
