Dave Matthews Band - Cry Freedom lyrics

How can I turn away brother
Sister go dancing through my head
Human as to human the future is no place
To place your better days cry freedom cry
From a crowd 10, 000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless sleep again
And we wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us all slip away

There was a window and by it stood
A mirror in which he could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had but
Hoped would come along cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire wave our hands

In this room stood a little child
And in this room this little child
She would remain until someone might decide
To dance this little child across this hall
Into a cold, dark, space
Where she might never trace her
Way across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where we are all confined
Till we wave our hands how can I turn away
Brother sister go dancing
Through my head human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
See Dave Matthews Band Live

Hear what I say oh, so be it

How can I turn away brother
Sister go dancing through my head
Human as to human the future is no place
To place your better days
