Cry of freedom, spread out your wings into the sky And take us to where the hills are calling On the breeze hangs a fragrance of morning dew Where the banks of the wide river Jordan come in view
Holy ground afar and forlorn Memories of yesterday How we long for the moment This torture will die away
Cry of freedom, cry out of the heart of our souls And we’ll fight our way out from here Onward we go
Come away save the day We can be strong when we hold on To that ancient believe, we belong in Now we’re breaking away We’ll realize our paradise We will rise now above sorrow and pain
Though the shame of the chain cut so deeply Still the flame or our pride will be burning
Cry of freedom, awake to this stirring inside And we’ll walk through the dawning now Of a new morning light And the spell of the past It will ever remain Holding on to that dream
