the fire is burning
we lay our weapons down to rest
this war ain't over

'till all the people will be free

straight from our hearts we cry

this war has stolen too many lives
cause for the sake of freedom we will die
our songs will carry on


oh lord we try , we try
to keep our dream alive

and voices will be heard
all around the world


so stand up and cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
stand up and cry for freedom

and keep the dream alive

our brothers in prison

but no crime was ever done
I call it racism
ashamed I face my fellow man


the children are taken away
and families destroyed

and millions have died from starvation
we can't go on this way


oh lord we pray , we pray
that maybe soon someday
the world will smile again

and they shall be released

so stand up and cry for freedom

and keep the dream alive
yeah stand up and cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive


solo


so stand up and cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
yeah stand up and cry for freedom

and keep the dream alive

so stand up and cry for freedom

and keep the dream alive
yeah stand up and cry for freedom
and let them know that we are here


oh no ,we can't go on this way
and we will never give up

fighting for freedom
yeah
and we will keep this dream alive
