Here I am, burnin' man
Singing the song of my open soul
Will time pass me?
All my dreams, a heaven knows

I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is beaten

Rise up burnin' man
See, is the white taken man?
Days of thunder see me shine
All my dreams turn out fine

I know the suffering will end, my friend
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land

I know the fear of dying
Heard it from a meltdown blast
I know that Lord have mercy
It soon will pass

I know it, I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is beaten
Where love is defeated

I know the suffering will end, my friend
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land

I know the fear of dying
Heard it from a meltdown blast
I know that Lord have mercy
It soon will pass

We need love
We gotta want it so bad
We need it now
So run to it fast

I know it, and the world will be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is defeated
I know it, I don't wanna be cheated
I can't go on in a world where love is defeated

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, where love is defeated
Can't go on in a world where love's defeated
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
The last note of freedom
