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

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