She told the story
I listened with my eyes closed
So sad but so true
She whispered softly
I asked her why she did so
She knew that I knewShe was a skater
The ice was her second home
The country's finest everyone could see
She had a plan
To break across the border
Instead of waiting for the powers that beCry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're readyShe said goodnight
But just as I was leaving
A black car came into view
And waiting there
They could hear me breathing
They knew that I knewCry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're readyInsane questions
They asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
But more they try
The stronger our love grows
I know that you knowCry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're readyCry freedom, sweet freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
