Now that we`ve travelled so very far
to walk the road alone
happier days I`ve known
(Chorus)
all I want is our freedom
to live our lives without fear
we want the world to have freedom
save the children
now that you`ve found another key
open the door my friends
the beginning of the end
(Chorus)
all I want is our freedom
to live our lives without fear
we want the world to have freedom
save the world
now that you know who you are
peace of mind is near
