Lyrics
I heard your cries from far away, felt your bitter fear inside
I couldn't let you live that way, not while I'm alive
I have been blessed with the freedom you dream about
So I lay down my life to lead the way out
Take my hand, take my heart
Nothing tears us apart let the world hear you sing
And let your freedom ring
All those years of suffering held your liberty in chains
I've travelled here to show you that your hurt was not in vain
When duty calls I let virtue lead the way
Gladly risking my life to bring you a better day
Take my hand, take my heart
Nothing tears us apart
Let the world hear you sing
And let your freedom ring
You thought your world was coming to an end
But I'd never let that happen to you my friend
Take my hand, take my heart
Nothing tears us apart
Let the world hear you sing
And let your freedom ring
