Lyrics
Far Away Lands
Far away lands, ridden with strife
For freedom is, forbidden this life
Let freedom be, written tomorrow
And our souls be, freed of their sorrow
I have a dream, where I can fly
Instrumental line
Wherever I look, the people they cry
Instrumental line
So this is my plan, if you give a damn
To do what I can, to help my fellow man
To give up the knife, and harvest the wheat
To live my own life, in joy and peace
I have a dream, where I can fly
Instrumental line
Wherever I look, the people they try
I have a dream, where I can fly
In it I look, down from the sky
Wherever I look, the people they try
The best that they can, to hold their heads high
