lyrics

THE HOPE OF FREEDOM Mardell McCombs ©Talking Rock Publishing

You say the country's too full
And you can't take anymore
So you're dimming the lamp
And closing the door

You say we're breaking your laws
Patience is wearing thin
But we're your tired and poor
And we want in

The hope of freedom was in my heart
It was a light that sustained me
Through those perilous miles

The hope of freedom was in my heart
The dream of a better life
I vowed to break poverty's curse
For the sake of my child and my wife

When there is no work, when there is no bread
When the soldiers come in the night
What is a man to do?
But seize the chance for flight

And now you say you must send me back
To do the best that I can
If you could just understand

There's no dignity to live in fear
So I beg you please keep me here
For my heart holds a dream so dear

The hope of freedom in my heart
The hope of freedom in my heart
The hope of freedom in my heart
