Freedom Someday (Unplugged)

Level 42
Album : Running In The Family: Acoustic Re-Interpretations 25 Years On

Im not chasing miracles
I dont want no sympathy
Im waiting for the world
to keep me company
thinking bout the universe
trying to keep my fears at bay
and all Im hoping for
is for someone else to want to say
Freedom someday are you ready to make the deal
freedom someday freedom to live for real
I dont want no money
but buddy, can you spare the time of day
cause silence is, Im sure
the highest price we pay
I dont wish my troubles on anyone
but I can wish them well
so Im knocking on your door
cause theres something I would like to say
Freedom someday Im ready to make the deal
freedom someday freedom to live for real
Somehow life goes on
but when its said and done
its such a bitter pill
when you think the battles won
you hear the distant guns
of all those fighting still
the battles in our heads
one we alway lose
whichever side we choose
we can paint the planet red
or black and blue instead
but we are one world
Im not chasing miracles
but I dont choose to be this way
now all Im hoping for
is for someone else to hear me say
And if our time has come
and if our race is run
who will pay the bill
when you think the battles won
you hear the distant guns
of all those fighting still
but the battles in our heads
one we always lose
whichever side we choose
paint the planet red
or black and blue instead
but we are one world
