Cry Freedom…a work in progess
The chorus came to me in a dream before last Thursday’s event; I recorded it on my phone. While waiting in a pub for John to get his car out from behind a lorry I wrote this song. The post 7/7 feeling clearly affected he lyrics.
Cry Freedom
(Dodge/Haithwaite)
Doncha run, just cry freedom
Dont let the bastards grind you down
Doncha run, just cry freedom
Theyll never take that from this town
Dont let fear get in the way
Courage will be there
Tellin you to stay
When things are too much to bear
They want us to be afraid
To live life all scared
Freedom is to be paid
Coming to those who dared
Band together in the face of fear
Rally round and be counted
Stand up for what is dear
We will not be routed
Doncha run, just cry freedom
Dont let the bastards grind you down
Doncha run, just cry freedom
Theyll never take that from this town
Doncha run, just cry freedom
Dont let the bastards grind you down
Doncha run, just cry freedom
Theyll never take that from this town
