Freedom Lyrics by B. B. King

Freedom

Don't understand
How I could be so blind
Something is changing
And I don't know why
Heaven knows how much I sacrifice
[I hear you, I hear you]
Now nothing in this world
Will ever change her mind

Freedom, what she needs
She wants freedom
'Cause she got dreams
In her heart it's time to go
A long way from home
Yes, it's a long way from home

I still remember
Her standing there
[Yeah, baby]
The sun was shining
On her soft brown hair
Well, all my life
Every tear I cried
I saw the future in her eyes
Now her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home

Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'Cause she's got dreams
And I hope she knows she's not alone
'Cause it's a long way from home
It's a long way from home

I think about her and then I pray
That she'll be safe and warm
[Safe and warm]
I get on my knees
[Down on my knees]
Oh Lord
[Oh Lord]

Freedom is what she needs
She wants freedom
'Cause she's got dreams
Give her freedom to believe
Her heart says it's time to go
A long way from home
Such a long way from home
It's a long way from home

Freedom
[Uh huh, that's what I want]
Freedom
[That's what I need]
Freedom
[That's what I've got to have]

Freedom
[Oh baby, that's what I've gotta have]
Freedom
[Oh baby, baby]
Freedom
Freedom, freedom
[She needs freedom]
Freedom
[That's what she needs]
[She wants, she wants freedom]
Freedom, she wants freedom
[She's got to have]
Freedom, she wants freedom . . .
