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