an old man once said
when the war is over we would be free
he said that we'd have to drive

those !@(^s back to germany
his vote in the post-war years
was a steadfast cast for fdr

'cause he thought that the new deal
would heal a nation's bleeding heart
a man in his middle years

shed tears about the economy
he said that the balance of the deficity
would set us free

he was caught in a fragile state
cause the dow had never sunk this far
so he searched for the deliverance

at the bottom of a bottle at a local bar

channel

everybody, everybody wants to be free
but i'm here to tell you


chorus
freedom
can only be found in the blood of jesus

freedom
can only be known in the love of god
freedom

comes to whoever would dare to believe jesus is
freedom


a child once spoke of the hour
when school would end and he could play
his freedom waited for him

at the ending of another day
his dream was to get to his home
for a stickball challenge on the avenue

if he could get past the dealer
selling dope
in the middle of the hall at the grammar school


repeat chorus
