Don't understand
How I could be so blind
Something is changing
And I don't know why
Heaven knows how much I sacrifice
(I hear you, I hear you)
Now nothing in this world
Will ever change her mind
Freedom, what she needs
She wants freedom
'cause she got dreams
In her heart it's time to go
A long way from home
Yes, it's a long way from home
I still remember
Her standing there
(yeah, baby)
The sun was shining
On her soft brown hair
Well, all my life
Every tear I cried
I saw the future in her eyes
Now her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'cause she's got dreams
And I hope she knows she's not alone
'cause it's a long way from home
It's a long way from home
I think about her and then I pray
That she'll be safe and warm
(safe and warm)
I get on my knees
(down on my knees)
Oh lord
(oh lord)
Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'cause she's got dreams
Give her freedom to believe
Her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Such a long way from home
It's a long way from home
Freedom
(uh huh, that's what I want)
Freedom
(that's what I need)
Freedom
(that's what I've got to have)
Freedom
(oh baby, that's what I've gotta have)
Freedom
(oh baby, baby)
Freedom
Freedom, freedom
(she needs freedom)
Freedom
(that's what she needs)
(she wants, she wants freedom)
Freedom, she wants freedom
(she's got to have)
Freedom, she wants freedom . . .
