Oh, yes it's hard, it's getting harder To turn the cheek or just walk away When all I see is degradation Day after day I wanna fight, my hands are tied My weapons are pitiful And all that's left One troubled mind, one timid voice Such a desperate noise What's in a word, more than you imagine What's in a word, more than I can say Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds Freedom's singing in your head, in your head And while I slide down into darkness You spent so proud, so proud in the light Oh, help me please I think I'm falling between wrong and right Why give me strenght, then speak at lenght Of wisdom and tenderness So much to learn, so much to lose I've asked it before, now tell me once more What's in a word, more than you imagine What's in a word, more than I can say Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds Chimes of freedom in your head Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning And I have heard that the die is cast I know the word can be liberation For a people free at last, free at last Some give a damn, some give their lives Why can't we give peace a chance Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot Oh, dreamer I'm not What's in a word, more than you imagine What's in a word, more than I can say Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds Freedom's singing in your head Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning And I have heard that the die is cast I know the word can be liberation For the people free at last Free at last
