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

[Chorus]
G#m D#m F# C#
Freedom, deep inside their hearts
G#m D#m F# C#
They are pleading every day, every night.
G#m D#m F# C#
They want freedom, deep inside their hearts
G#m D#m F# C#
They are pleading every day, every night.
