FREEDOM SONG (RU4420)Words & Music by Orrin Bolton
2002 Oroco Inc. (BMI)
DON'T LOOK BACK JACKIE, DON'T LOOK BACK
LOOK WHAT'S COMING ON, DOWN THIS TRACK
DON'T IT RING A BELL OR TWO?
IT'S SO OLD, IT'S NEW, TURN AROUND.
YEAH YOU AND I HAVE BIG THINGS TO DO
SO LET'S TAKE THE TIME, FOR A TOKE OR TWO
AND GIVE PRAISE TO THOSE, WHO ARE PROUD,
OF WHAT THEY DONE.
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO REST.
I DREAM OF FRIENDS THAT I LOVE BEST
THE GOOD THEY DONE, IS ALL THAT REMAINS,
NOT A STONE LEFT, TO THEIR NAMES
BUT I THINK OF THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL
AND I WINK AT THE MIRROR ON THE WALL
AND I TOKE, TOKE, TOKE,
TO THOSE WHO SING, LET FREEDOM RING,
SAY YEAH!
DO YOU REMEMBER BACK, WHEN YOU WERE A TEEN?
AND TIME WAS JUST A MAGAZINE?
YEAH, WE'D MEET IN THE STREETS
AND THE SKY SPARKED ELECTRICITY
AND I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER
AND I REMEMBER YOU, IN TATTERED JEANS
NEITHER OF US, HAD NO VISIBLE MEANS.
WE WERE YOUNG, DON'T FORGET,
WHAT WE DONE TO LET FREEDOM, FREEDOM RING.
SEVEN YEARS COME, AND SEVEN GO,
AND THE TEST OF TIME, IS ALL WE KNOW
THE MAGIC'S LOST, IF NOT PASSED ON, I MEAN,
WHO EVER THOUGHT WE'D LIVE THIS LONG?
SO I THINK OF THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL,
AND I WINK AT THE MIRROR ON THE WALL
AND I TOKE, TOKE, TOKE, TO THOSE WHO SING,
LET FREEDOM, LET IT RING,
LET FREEDOM RING.
SO HERE'S TO THE BATTLES WE WON,
HERE'S TO THE THINGS THAT WE DONE.
YEAH, THE THINGS WE DO,
TO KEEP IT TRUE.
AND I THINK OF THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL
AND I WINK AT THE WRITING ON THE WALL
AND I TOKE, TOKE, TOKE
TO THOSE WHO SING, LET FREEDOM RING!
SAY YEAH!
