GUEST,Brandon Lyr Req: How Can I Cry about Freedom (from Vida) (7) Lyr Add: HOW CAN I CRY ABOUT FREEDOM (from Vida) 27 Apr 04


AHA!!! I never knew this cause i never owned the original printing of the cd and case sleeve, but the bloody lyrics are already printed in the sleeve of the album by Vida that thi song appears: In Bloom. Bloody Hell!!!

Well here's the lyrics, for anyone interested:

HOW CAN I CRY ABOUT FREEDOM

I'm walkin' slowly, takin' in the cloudy day
A river of people passes me and flows away
I'm feelin' weary, I'm feelin' like I'm wastin' time
The troubles in my life just ain't worth a dime

Oh, sisters, and brothers forgive me for the things I say
I'm losin' the meaning, I'm losin' sense of night and day
The sun that I'm seeing is the same around the earth
So why is our freedom ruled by our birth

And how can I cry about freedom
When I lived a whole life of liberty
And how can I sing about suffering and pain
I sing for all the souls that do not complain

Tomorrow, justice, it seems so high and far away
While people are hungry, mistreated each and every day
Whatever can I do, standing here on solid ground
I sing for the silent people, Lord, hear our sound...OH!!!

I'm wonderin' why blues and blacks and greys are coverin' the world
What is the mystery of the dove that she stays so long away
Why are my sisters singin' songs of their pain so beautifully
Why are my brothers crying tears of silence, so hopelessly

And how can I cry about freedom
When I lived a whole life of liberty
And how can I sing about suffering and pain
I sing for all the souls who do not complain
Who do not complain
