Paul Gordon - Sweet Liberty lyrics

JANE It's seven o' clock in the morning I lift my eyes to autumn skies I look out through the graveyard A silhouetted swallow files He flies to distant countries I lose him just behind a cloud I yearn to be that swallow And go where I am not allowed Over mountains, over oceans Heaven take me away For I long for my liberty For sweet liberty I pray It's nine o' clock in the morning I teach what's been instilled in me But is this all we're meant for Condemned to mere tranquility? Well, women feel as men do We must engage out minds and souls Let us, like our brothers Let our worth define our roles Breaking custom and convention Let tradition give way For we all need our liberty For sweet liberty we pray And I wake from my bed With the urge to depart And to follow the dreams of my heart It's twelve o' clock in the pitch black night I can't contain my wanderlust I seek a new adventure I search the skies because I must I hunger for new faces To find a better destiny And fly among the swallows Far beyond the troubled sea Over mountains, over oceans Heaven take me away For I love for my liberty For sweet liberty I pray 'Cross the rivers Past the highlands With God's wind in my hair I look out over boundless skies JANE My spirits riseAnd carry me Beyond my past Where I will find Sweet liberty My libertyAt last ENSEMBLE My spirits rise And carry me Heaven let my freedom Carry me Where I will find Liberty At last
