Look into the distance, youre living in a cage A fire burns inside you, that fuels all the rage Youre thinking of the outside, and dream of the past The gates to freedom lie within your grasp Theyre changing the system, rewriting the laws Renaming religion, reshaping your cause You always be lonely, walking with fools The shadows in the doorways make the rules Because youre free, this time Dont be scared of who you are Free, to find Theres no hiding in the dark A new day is dawning, a new age begun Nobody told you which way you should run Wait for the thunder, break from the shell Is this the gate to freedom from this hell? Because youre free, this time Dont be scared of who you are Free, to find Theres no hiding in the dark Free, this time You can learn to live again Free, to find There is shelter from the rain Free Theyre razing the fences in the pastures of doom The fields of our heroes, the land won by few The call of a new world, dream to transcend Now its time to fight and start again Because youre free, this time Dont be scared of who you are Free, to find Theres no hiding in the dark Because youre free, this time You can learn to live again Free, to find There is shelter from the rain Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne
