Cry For Freedom

"I like to pray out here where there's room to breathe

Take the air inside of me

And let the spirit move

And there's a sea of sage

Where they say a man is made to be

Tough as a young tumbleweed

Light as cottonwood root

I want to be that light

I want to be that tough

And if this soul of mine could lose

It's weight of pride and take to flight

I'd rise above and be free Lord free

To serve the One who came to be a servant to us all ~ yeah

And Lord I'm down on my knees

I'm praying for the eyes to see

And ears to hear

This world's cry for freedom

Yeah ~ Freedom

And I like to play out here where there's room to grow

No fences and no roads

Everything is new

And the dawn it breaks

It heals the hurts that harden me

So I can stretch and someday reach

And I may be reached too

I want to be that broken

I want to be that strong

Wake up where the big sky is open

The wind is blowin'

And my heart sings along

Singing Lord I want to be free ~ Lord free

To serve the One who came to be

A servant to us all yeah

And Lord I'm down on my knees

And I'm praying for the eyes to see

And ears to hear

This cry

Free Lord free

Ooh ~ yeah

A servant to us all

He cried for freedom

He died for freedom

Yeah oh

I cry for freedom

I'd die for freedom

Yeah freedom

Yeah freedom

Yeah"
