Something For Nothing Lyrics


Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways, you pass the daysWaiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer
To the question you have found
Looking for an open doorWhoa, you don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dream might beNo, you don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dream might beWhat you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory

What you love is your own power
What you live is your own storyIn your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your songOh, you don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free, no
Whoa, you don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free, no

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

(from The Rough Guide to Highlife) "Joe Mensah, a singer from the Ghanaian coastal port of Takoradi, joined the Broadway Band as a young lad. Moving to nigeria in the early 1960s, he then gained success with Chief Bill Friday's highlife band, contributing to the original version of 'Bosoe' (also spelled 'Bonsue'). He later returned to Broadway, yet another outfit that travelled abroad on Ghana public relations trips. The band evolved into Uhuru Dance Band, but in the late 1960s Joe went on a solo journey to the USA, where he studied at Julliard School of Music and became a producer.
