song in the wind

Leaves town with mud on his face,
Sullen crowd watches the dog in his place
Kicks him again, the flag as their judge
God knows they’re right, can’t make them budge

How can so many be so far astray
Race shakes with anger, waits for their day

[Chorus]
Freedom’s dark in the shadow of sacrifice
Freedom’s dark till there’s no more blood and lies
Freedom’s bright, moving like a song in the wind
Let me hear that song in the wind

Fear is rain, soaks the skin
Never fight, never win
Righteous vengeance isn’t righteous at all
Wanna tear, make the fall

Wake up people, the choices you make
Ignore oppression, lives will break

[Chorus]

Tears don’t help break the lies
That storm the children, rearrange lives
Time to put the pain to sleep
Heal the wounds that run so deep

Freedom’s dark, freedom’s dark when it’s splattered with lies
Let me hear that song in the wind
