Sweet Freedom - Michael McDonald

You know I'm writing these words just to pass the time Now it's thirty days and so I crossed the line Say it's a pen that I hoped ain't no gun in my hand It's a-help to me to make you understand Now I know where I've come from You won't call it the other side You can leave when you want to Anytime when you're ready to die And I don't want to die And the land where the world doesn't meant It's a shame Sweet freedom Can I hope to find you here? Sweet freedom Is there really nothing to fear? Sweet freedom Can I hope to find you here? Sweet freedom Is there really nothing to fear? And if the feeling is strange How the sound which was be? Takes to go down the floor for I've gone away All these neat people around Yes, they must be my friends But nobody knows the friends are left behind I can leave when I wanted And there's no-one to tell me I'm wrong All the things that I care about Well, it seems they're still there I'm gone And believe me I'm gone And I don't wanna come back Cause my life was a lie You know I'm writing these words just to pass the time Now it's thirty days and so I crossed the line Say it's a pen that I hoped ain't no gun in my hand It's a-help to me to make you understand Now I know where I've come from You won't call it the other side You can leave when you want to Anytime when you're ready to die And I don't want to die And the land where the world doesn't meant It's a shame Sweet freedom Sweet freedom Sweet freedom Sweet freedom You know I'm writing these words just to pass the time Now it's thirty days and so I crossed the line Say it's a pen that I hoped ain't no gun in my hand It's a-help to me to make you understand Now I know where I've come from You won't call it the other side You can leave when you want to Anytime when you're ready to die And I don't want to die And the land where the world doesn't meant It's a shame Sweet freedom Can I hope to find you here? Sweet freedom Is there really nothing to fear? Sweet freedom Can I hope to find you here? Sweet freedom Is there really nothing to fear? You know I'm writing these words just to pass the time Now it's thirty days and so I crossed the line Say it's a pen that I hoped ain't no gun in my hand It's a-help to me to make you understand Now I know where I've come from You won't call it the other side You can leave when you want to Anytime when you're ready to die And I don't want to die And the land where the world doesn't meant It's a shame.

No more runnin down the wrong road Dancin to a different drum Cant you see what's goin on Deep inside your heart Always searchin for the real thing Livin like it's far away Leave all the madness in yesterday Youre holdin the key When you believe it Shine sweet freedom Shine your light on me You are the magic Youre right where I wanna be Oh sweet freedom carry me along Well keep the spirit alive on and on Well be dancin in the moonlight Sailin' with the risin' sun Livin like weve never done Goin all the way Reachin out to meet the changes Touchin every shining star The light of tomorrow is right where we are There's no turnin back From what Im feeling Shine sweet freedom Shine your light on me You are the magic Youre right where I wanna be Oh sweet freedom carry me along Well keep the spirit alive on and on Coz therell be starlight all night When were close together Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes Tonight they're guiding us Shinin till the mornin' light

What I want - What I need Fight for it - I'll succeed FREEDOM in what I do FREEDOM for me and you What I want - What I need Fight for it - I'll succeed FREEDOM in what I see FREEDOM set me free.

Pour Out your water That I might take a sip Your love consumes me Every drip It is like Honey On my lips Pour Out your water That I might take a sip Your words Are a lamp unto my feet When I walk down these Dark and Lonely streets You are all I need Pour Out your mercy And clear this busy mind Your love is like eden A slice of apple pie It is like sugar on my toung So Pour Out your mercy Clear my busy mind Your words Are a lamp unto my feet When I walk down these Dark and Lonely streets You are all I need
