"Liberty" lyrics

Thinking on all the lives
Ages and ages stay
Held in the powers that rise
Lust, money, pride, and fame
The burdened, the burned, the blamed
The unmourned and still unnamed
The angel is passing by me
The sleepless at night, they say

I know we need more than peace
I live and I'll bleed for liberty
For liberty

Hey-oh, liberty
Hey-oh, set me free
Hey-oh, liberty
Freedom, liberate me

Oh, we're all shackled, aren't we?
We're all held down some way
Who can we give the honor?
Who can we give the blame?
The burden of knowledge bears me
Knowledge, not understanding
The cry that you hear in every
Every living, dying, breathing being

I know we need more than peace
I live and I'll bleed for liberty

Hey-oh, liberty
Hey-oh, set me free
Hey-oh, liberty
Freedom, liberate me

(Hey-oh, hey-oh)
(Hey-oh, hey-oh, hey-oh)
(Hey-oh, hey-oh)
(Hey-oh, hey-oh, hey-oh)
Ooh, I think that freedom grows wild
I think that love should be shown
Breathe into me life
That holds on to more than we own

I know we need more than peace
I live and I'll bleed for liberty
For liberty

Hey-oh, liberty
Hey-oh, set me free
Hey-oh, liberty
Freedom, liberate me
Hey-oh, liberty
Hey-oh, set me free
Hey-oh, liberty (Oh, liberty)
Freedom, liberate me (Liberty, freedom)

Satisfied by anger (Set me free)
'Cause you're unrighteous, baby (Set me free)
If you can see, you can breathe
You believe then you're free
Then we're all free
We're all free
