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.

I can't go on.

Where love is defeated.

Can't go on.



(Solo!)



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 for 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 can't go on.



No, no, no , no, no, no, no

Where love is defeated.

Can't go on, in a world where love's defeated.

Defeated.

No, no, no , no, no, no, no

No, no, no , no, no, no, no
