Freedom by The Milk Carton Kids Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Freedom rings loudly now
Listen up, hear the sound
Of screaming as the shots ring out
That's what freedom sounds like now

[Verse 2]
Beating drums, fathers' sons
Teach 'em well till kingdom come
Steal the daylight from the sun
That's what freedom has become

[Chorus]
Stand over the shadow of a man
Staring down his lifetime with blood stained hands
What had you planned to say?

[Bridge]
Underground, out to sea
Bodies come to rest in peace
Fighting for the right for more
That's what freedom has in store
[Verse 3]
Asphalt burns, unsoled feet
Vacant eyes in defeat
Lost the thread on every dream
That's what freedom's come to mean

[Chorus]
Stand behind the handle of a gun
Staring down the future daring time to run
Like time could run away

[Verse 4]
Freedom's glowing sadly now
Listen up, look around
Candles burn in memory
Freedom is a fading dream
