how can I turn away
brother sister go dancing through my head
human as to human
the future is no place
to place your better days
cry freedom cry
from a crowd ten thousand wide
(hopelessly hope)
that this crowd will not subside
let this flag burn to dust
and in you our filled design is raised
while you wait head and hands hands in prayer
and fall into a dreamless sleep again
and you wait
and hands and feet are all allied
but wall between divide us
hands and feet are all allied
but gold between divided souls slip away
there was a window and by it stood
a meadow in which he could see himself
he thought of something
something he had never had
but hoped would come had gone
cry freedom cry
from a crowd ten thousand wide
while you wait
hands and feet are all allied
but gold between divide us
hands and feet are allied
but walls between divided soul slip away
in this room stood a little child
and in this room this little child he would remain
until someone might decide
to dance this little child across this
into a cold dark space
where she might never trace away
across this crooked mile
across this crooked page
cry freedom cry
from deep inside
where we are all confined
and you wait there
how can I turn away
brother sister go dancing through my head
human as to human
the future is no place
to place your better days
hands and feet are all allied
but gold between divide us
hands and feet are all allied
but worlds between divide us
hands and feet are all allied
but faith between divide us
hands and feet are all allied
but walls between divide us
hands and feet save the life
hear what I say hear what I say
how can I turn away
brother sister go dancing through my head
human as to human
the future is no place
to place your better days
