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

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