I was out in the cold of a North London street
A cog in the hurrying world
Above the walls and the gate police
I caught a glimpse of a Holloway girlShe was reachin' out of a window
From a space just a few inches wide
'Till the hand of justice pulled her back insideOne day, freedom will unlock your door
So hold on, believe on
Be who you were before
One day, freedom will unlock your doorI know how hard it can be to wait
For proof you were right all along
Self-destruction is easy for you
We know what you're capable ofBut like a needle in a haystack
The truth gets so disguised
In a kingdom built on madness and on liesOne day, freedom will unlock your door
So hold on, believe on
Be who you were before
In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright
So hold on, hold on
It's gonna be all rightYou're lookin' up at a mountain
Between you and the outside
But there isn't a mountain in this whole world
Hasn't been climbedOne day, freedom will unlock your door
So hold on, believe on
Be who you were before
In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright
So hold on, hold on
It's gonna be all rightOne day, freedom
One day, freedom will unlock your door
