Cry Freedom

She told the story

I listened with my eyes closed

So sad but so true

She whispered softly

I asked her why she did so

She knew that i knew

She was a skater

The ice was her second home

The country's finest

Everyone could see

She had a plan

To break across the border

Instead of waiting for

The powers that be



Cry freedom, sweet freedom

Tell the whole world

To get ready

Cry freedom, sweet freedom

Tell the whole world

That we're ready



She said goodnight

But just as i was leaving

A black car came into view

And waiting there

They could hear me breathing

They knew that i knew, cry freedom



Insane questions

They asked me what did i know

So strange, they let me go

But more they try

The stronger our love grows

I know that i know, cry freedom



Cry freedom, sweet freedom ...
