I see shadows on the evening news

But injustice never waits

You can wave your flag, you can draw your line

Say its yours and say its mine
But a heart dont live in chains

No, a soul dont play those games

You can pray for heaven above

Sing about peace, sing about love
But until were all the same

Were still not free

While the streets learn how to survive

Every promise wrapped in gold

Leaves the hungry out in the cold

Far away from the sound of truth

If silence wins, we all lose

Historys repeating you

No one owns another man

Then the world might finally see
What it means to be free
