I'm a little too shy to ask you baby
But tonight I'm in need of a friend
I've been running in the jungle so long
I'm more at ease with my enemies than I am holding your hand

I've seen people cryin' out for justice
I've seen people abandoned by the world
I've seen children whose eyes are so helpless
I've seen people fighting, fighting, fighting for

Freedom - crying out for
Freedom - dying
Freedom - it's all around us baby
Freedom - what you gonna do with your life?

Don't be afraid pretty baby
I know I'm a stranger to your eyes
I guess I ain't as pretty as you're used to
My body's a little bit battered from having no place to hide

I've seen people hungry for an answer
I've seen people crying to be heard
I've seen people tired of waiting
I've seen people fighting, fighting for

Freedom
Freedom - crying out for
Freedom - dying
Freedom - what you gonna do with your life?
