Flatlanders - Cry For Freedom Lyrics

Well, my old friend is this how you cry for freedom?
When you walk alone out in the cold, you walk alone
Into the night lookin' for light, longin' for fire
Out of your heart cry for freedom, out on your own

And you were born bound in chains to cry for freedom
You cast a stone, you weren't alone to cry for freedom
But you cried for more

Your children rise and lift their eyes and cry for freedom
Old men swear and darken the air with clouds of lies
Some for you, some for me, some forever
To heal their hearts they cry for freedom while freedom cries

And we were born bound in chains to cry for freedom
We cast a stone, we weren't alone to cry for freedom
Cry for freedom, cry for freedom

The ones you love and skies above cry for freedom
Heavy loads, open roads cry for freedom
Birth and death, every breath cry for freedom

Mountains tall, coyotes call, the river wide, the risin' tide
The dove that mourns, the crown of thorns cry for freedom

Horses wild, a laughing child cry for freedom
Trembling lips, sailin' ships, fallin' stars, sad guitars
Right and wrong, a lonely song
My old friend is this how you cry for freedom?
My old friend is this how you cry for freedom?
