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

[Chorus]

Freedom, deep inside their hearts
Gm Dm F C
They are pleading every day, every night.
Gm Dm F C
They want freedom, deep inside their hearts
Gm Dm F C
They are pleading every day, every night.
