Freedom pulls my heartstrings As I board another plane It's not leaving I am wanting But freedom knows my name Friends turn into strangers Strangers can be cold I've been blessed with angels At least I'm not alone And they come to me in a sunrise In the words of some old song In the name of all creation In a life long out of bounds Freedom knows my name Freedom knows my name Tender roots grow deep with longing To the core of solid ground Mine go left of center And slightly off the ground Through the war torn ages Scenes of freedom's fight Drawn on hidden pages Haunt our dreams at night Freedom knows my name Freedom knows my name To the child without a promise To the frightened and the tame Although it's just a whisper Freedom knows your name
