Cry For Freedom Lyrics - Anthology '83-'89 - White Lion

The fire's burnin' 

We lay our weapons down to rest 

This war ain't over 

'Till all the people will be free 

Straight from our hearts we cry 

This war has stolen too many lives 

Give for sake of freedom we will die 

Our sons will carry on 

Oh Lord we try, we try 

To keep our dream alive 

And voices will be heard 

All around the world 

So stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Now brothers in prison 

But no crime was ever done 

I call it racism 

Ashamed I face my fellow men 

The children are taken away 

And families destroyed 

And millions have died from starvation 

We can't go on this way 

Oh Lord we pray, we pray 

That maybe soon someday 

The world will smile again 

And they shall be released 

So stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep our dream alive 

Yeah, stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And keep the dream alive 

Stand up and cry for freedom 

And let 'em know that we are here 

Oh no, we can't go on this way 

And we will never give up 

Fighting for freedom 

Yeah, and we will keep this dream alive
