I'm waiting for an answer
Talking about the ones
Living like a prisoners in their own land

How can we turn our heads
Pretending not to hear
The sad clining of the chains

Just look around and you will see
The people crying for freedom rain
Freedom rain

The headline news on TV
Show you just hhow hard it is
To find real justice anywhere

We'd better open our eyes
And start praying for the rain
I know someday it's gonna fall

Just look around and you will see
The people crying for freedom rain
Freedom rain

Just look around and you will see
The people crying for freedom rain
Freedom rain
