Freedom Calling - Colin Hay

If you hear a voice call out your name

Saying you can stop yourself from falling

And if he strikes you in his fear and shame

Well you can leave him to his ruin

If your dreams they wake you in the night

And your heart it is a pounding

If you cry out as you wake in your fright

And the wind it is a-howling

Maybe it’s time to find another place

Where nobody even knows your face

There is no need to be afraid

For it’s only freedom calling

If your tears begin to overflow

As you walk against the undertow

There is no need to be afraid

For it’s only freedom calling

If you’re sad 'cause you’re all alone

And your hands they are a shaking

And your miracle cure’s not working anymore

And the flood bank’s close to breaking

Suddenly you’re on an open unknown road

Passing all the heavy, long wide loads

It is time to make your great escape

And you can hear your freedom calling

I want to dive into the sea of love

But my knees they are a quaking

I can see myself high up above

And there’s no time left for faking

I no longer need to understand

What it is to truly be a man

Only when I gave up on my masterplan

Did I then hear freedom calling

Did I then hear freedom calling
