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