[Verse 1]
Bm A F#m
Can't they see their land in peace?
Bm A D
Can't they hear their songs once more?
A E
Can't the waves of the sea
G D A G F#
Go to lie in the sands of a free land?
Bm A F#m
It's not a matter of belief
Bm A D
But the hopes seem to be gone
A G
And the waves of the sea
D Bm G F#
Won't lie in the sands of a free land.
[Chorus]
Bm F#m A E
Freedom, deep inside their hearts
Bm F#m A E
They are pleading every day, every night.
[Verse 2]
Bm A F#m
Can you just forget the times
Bm A D
When the kids could run outside
A E
With their games and their jokes,
G D A G F#
With a smile and no fear in their faces?
Bm A F#m
So they thought by praying hard
Bm A D
Soon their god would take a chance
A G
And that justice would grow
D Bm G F#
And its strength would bring peace to their sorrows.(Sorrows)
[Chorus]
Bm F#m A E
Freedom, deep inside their hearts
Bm F#m A E
They are pleading every day, every night.
[Bridge]
G A F#m G
And I know, Darling; it's not one more tear.
G A F#m G
Yes, I know, honey; we'll have to leave.
G A Bm
Should we pray? Yes, I will!
G A E
Should we fight? Yes, I will!
