Lyrics

FREEDOM'S DOOR

There's no lookin back
There's no turnin around
There's terror - blood - destruction
In my town
The desert was burnin
The angry sea churnin
But I kept pushin' on - till I reached freedom's door
And I kissed the ground

On the other side of freedom's door
People follow their dreams
On the other side of freedom's door
Children play make believe
They're football stars and ballerinas
And everything in between
On the other side of freedom's door
Is there room for me

Close to a new life
A life without fear
I could smell it - taste it - feel it
It was so near
So I knocked on that door
Knocked on freedom's door
But the door wouldn't open - it turned a deaf ear
No one would hear

On the other side of freedom's door
They can't lock you away
If you criticize the powers
If you pray a different way
On the other side of freedom's door
You can spread your wings
On the other side of freedom's door
Is there room for me

Open the door
Don't make me go back
I'm beggin you please
Open the door
Don't make me go back
I'm down on my knees

On the other side of freedom's door
The light keeps shining bright
Piercing shadows round the world
Keeping hope alive
On the other side of freedom's door
People live in peace
On the other side of freedom's door
Please make room for me
