Cry Freedom Lyrics - Spotlight - Uriah Heep

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
