Lyrics By Danielle Ponder:
Did the crime paid more than time, time and time, and time again
Land of laws for the darker man
Freedom comes too slow for me
I could give up if my soul wasn't with me
I could give up if the blood wasn't in me
I'm pressing on one day I'll see the sun

Yeah I'm calling out to the heart of the land
Whose going to listen to a poor man's pain
I am reaching out, reaching out again to anyone with the will to understand

Lonely nights and longer days
count them down but they never fade
Hard to remember who I used to be
I hold tight to what's left of me
Cold is the place where nobody sees me
Cold is the place where the world doesn't needs me
Wont be long I' m coming home ooo

Freedom wont you call out their names
Im a man just like you, i bleed the blood that you do
Freedom wont you call out my name.
Freedom wont you call out my name
