Sepharad
Sepharad, or Sefarad, or Sfard, is a biblical place name of uncertain location. It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the Book of Obadiah Obadiah 1:20. There are, however, Old Persian inscriptions that refer to two places called Saparda (alternative reading: Sparda): one area in Media and another in Asia Minor. It is speculated that Sepharad could have been Sardis, whose native Lydian name is Sfard.
Since the period of 2nd century Roman Antiquity, Spanish Jews gave the name "Sepharad" to the Iberian peninsula. The descendants of Iberian Jews refer to themselves as Sephardi Jews (Hebrew, plural: Sephardim) and identify Spain as "Sepharad" in modern Hebrew.

SWEET FREEDOM
by: Safri DuoNo more runnin’ down the wrong road
Dancin’ to a different drum
Can’t you see what’s goin’ on
Deep inside your heart
Always searchin’ for the real thing
Livin’ like it’s far away
Leave all the madness in yesterday
You’re holdin’ the key
When you believe it
Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You’re right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We’ll keep the spirit alive on and on
We’ll be dancin’ in the moonlight
Sailin' with the risin' sun
Livin’ like we’ve never done
Goin’ all the way
Reachin’ out to meet the changes
Touchin’ every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There’s no turnin’ back
From what I’m feeling
Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You’re right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We’ll keep the spirit alive on and on
Coz there’ll be starlight all night
When we’re close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they’re guiding us
