K’naan - Be Free Lyrics

When I was a little boy,
Clenched on to my mam's dress,
Hanging on like my last breath,
Even me I was a mess,
Then she teach me to address,
Injustice with fearlessness,
(Ciradiyo jacaylku caway igu kulmeeney)

La la lala laa la, la lala la laa la.

Then I saw the stars faint,
Falling them with heartaches,
Then I felt the earth shake,
Trembling for God's sake,
Its like when her voice breaks,
Calling me to my place,
(Ciradiyo jacaylku caway igu kulmeeney)

La la lala laa la, la lala la laa la.

They say time is like a sword,
Striking (god's) the ambition chords,
Struggle has its own rewards,
So we hope you march forward,
Muslims Jews and Christians war
No one is left to praise the Lord!
(Ciradiyo jacaylku caway igu kulmeeney)

La la la la la la, la lala la laa la.

So if you want to be free,
There is no one ? fight it,
If you want to see the moon,
Then there is no cloud that can hide it,
We live in this impossible world,
We want change despite it,
(Ciradiyo jacaylku caway igu kulmeeney)

La la lala laa la, la lala la laa la.
La la lala laa la, la lala la laa la.
La la lala laa la, la lala la laa la.
