U2 - 46664 (LONG WALK TO FREEDOM) Lyrics

All right, these are all new songsWe didn't wanna, you know, trot out the same old bollocksMight be a good idea just to bring to thisExtraordinary shining country some new songsLift you up, not that you need us to lift us upThank you for lifting us upJoe Strummer used to lift me upWhen I was a kid listening to punk rock recordsThe Clash were our favorite groupAnd this is the last song that he ever wroteWith his wife Louise, and Elijah his daughter are here tooAnd I'm singing it for them tooI want you to sing it with meIt's a long (long)It's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomWhen freedom rises from the killing floorNo lock of iron or rivet can restrain the doorAnd no kind of army can hope to win a warIt's like trying to stop the rain or still the lion's roarIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's like trying to stop the whirlwind scattering seeds and sporesLike trying to stop the tin cans rattling jailhouse semaphoreLike laying when your spins are manacled its your spirit that gets rawIt's not the small little patch of sky you see, but the spirit it, it soarsAnd long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomMy Man, Adbul JamaicaWhen freedom arise from the killing floorCan't stop the rain nor lions that roarNo matter whirlwind, scatter seeds and sporeFrom the sky, world visions of poorSix waves come, then seventh break shoreWe don't wanna distant, when you a killa boarWhat I'm trying to say, this thing gone high, yayWhat's in store, what's in storeSing this one:4-6-6 6-44-6-6 6-44-6-6 6-44-6-6 6-44-6-6 6-4In the ghettos of the colors don't forget the human coreIn townships of humanity there would be no poorFrom when the rock is heavy comes the purest oreThe first six waves might break in the bay, the seventh breaks on the shoreIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedom4-6-6 6-4 / It's a long walk4-6-6 6-4 / Long walk to freedom4-6-6 6-4 / It's a long walk4-6-6 6-4 / Long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedom4-6-6 6-4 / It's a long walk4-6-6 6-4 / Long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomSing with meIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomIt's a long walk, long walk to freedomNot just a president for South AfricaNot just a president for AfricaThis is a president for anyone, anywhereWho knows freedom???
