Cry Freedom by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds

This is a very wordy sad song but I love the chorus!!! "Hands and feet are all alike, But gold between divide us, Hands and feet are all alike, But fear between divide us..."

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, 
Slip away 

In this room stood a little child
And in this room this little child
She would remain
Until someone might decide
To dance this little child
Across this hall
Into a cold, dark, space
Where 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 
Till 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 your 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
Hear what I say
Hear what I say
Oh, so be it

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
