Sannie Fox - Freedom Lyrics

“A revelation of the divine power of music to transcend the barriers of class and race and not only delight and uplift men of different colour, creed or occupation, but also to make them feel as one, by virtue of music’s exaltation and is a noblemen of man’s soul and spirit.” - Uys Krige

Under the heel of the boss
Here’s one for the road
Told the boss to get lost
And return to the unknown

He said if all this
Could fill the body of a ship and be sent away across the seas to expand
In the middle of an ocean and be turned into big dreams
Would I be free, of the things, holding me?
Would I be free like some?
Yeah, I‘ll be ready when my freedom finally comes

He wanted freedom
He wanted to feel free
Freedom for all to touch
And for all to see, yeah

He said, if I could turn this flame into a fire that never dies
(A flame to burn)
Yeah, it burn so high it touches the sky with its hands
Would I be free of the things, holding me?
Would I be free like some?
Yeah, I‘ll be ready when my freedom finally comes

If I could turn these shadows into a hundred silver horses
If I hurled my bitter quarters out into open water
History’s got its band around me
I got it
Mother it’s my disease (Hey, yeah)
History’s got its band around me
I got it
Mother, it’s my disease (Hey, yeah, yeah)

Would I be free of the things, holding me?
Would I be free like some?
Yeah, I‘ll be ready when my freedom finally comes
