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