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

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