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