Lyrics Cry Freedom - Live at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, Elkhorn, WI 07.26.15 - Dave Matthews Band

I like this place

How can I turn away
Brother, sister go dancing through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place to place your better days

Cry freedom cry, from a crowd 10,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands
Hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless sleep again
And we wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away

There was a window and by it stood
A mirror in which he could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had but hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside, where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away

In this room stood a little child
In this room this little child she would remain
Unless someone might decide
To dance this little child aross this hall
She's in a cold, dark, space
And she might never trace her way across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where we are all confined
'Til we wave our hands

How can I turn away
Brother, sister go dancing through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place to place some better days

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike, yeah
And we dance, and we dance
Oh, so in the air
And we dance away

How can I turn away
Brother, sister go dancing through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place to place your better days
