There's a knock on my window
In the middle of the October night
It's my momma
she's come to tell me
that they've begun to f***t
Throw on my jeans and button my shirt
and climb down the stairs to the street
In the distance i hear the shouting
a soldier's marching feet
We all want freedom
We do it for freedom
we say
I go to the meadow
Where we once used to play
and I fall on my knees and cover my face
and I begin to pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
and if I die before the dawn
well it's better off cuz the world will be gone
We all want freedom
we do it for freedom
we say
