I'm not chasing miracles

I don't want no sympathy

I'm waiting for the world

To keep me company Thinking 'bout the universe

Trying to keep my fears at bay

And all I'm hoping for

Is for someone else to want to say Freedom someday

Are you ready to make the deal?

Freedom someday

Freedom to live for real I don't want no money

But buddy, can you spare the time of day?

'Cause silence is I'm sure

The highest price we pay I don't wish my troubles on anyone

But I can wish them well

So I'm knocking on your door

'Cause there's something I would like to say Freedom someday

I'm ready to make the deal

Freedom someday

Freedom to live for real Somehow life goes on

But when it's said and done it's such a bitter pill

When you think the battle's won

You hear the distant guns of all those fighting still The battle's in our heads

One we always lose whichever side we choose

We can paint the planet red

Or black and blue instead but we are one world I'm not chasing miracles

But I don't choose to be this way

Now all I'm hoping for

Is for someone else to hear me say Freedom someday

Are you ready to make the deal?

Freedom someday

Freedom to live for real Freedom someday

A life we won't have to steal

Freedom someday

Freedom to live for real And if our time has come

And if our race is run who will pay the bill?

When you think the battle's won

You hear the distant guns of all those fighting still But the battle's in our heads

One we always lose whichever side we choose

Paint the planet red

Or black and blue instead but we are one world Somehow life's going on

But when it's said and done it's such a bitter pill

When you think the battle's won

You hear the distant guns of all those fighting still The battle's in our heads

One we always lose whichever side we choose

We can paint the planet red

Or black and blue instead but we are one world
