Lyrics
Lori
for Lori Berenson
(www.freelori.org)
A dark cell A cold hell
on a mountain far from home
She cried out for human rights now she struggles for her own
Justice failed, the innocent jailed
Telling stories spreading lies
They captured a wild heart but her spirit will survive
Hold on-hold on Lori
Time is changing everything love is surrounding you
Her fingers blue, Her mouth askew
She links liberty with crime
The power turns inhumane
now all she?s got is time
Chorus
Home holds a place for you forever and ever
The fire burns so bright
it brings you altogether
The dampness will be dry
Peaceful tears will fly
Chorus
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
We?re lovin you
Don?t ya, forget don?t ya give in
we?re here
