Back in the Cold War days of the sixties we were living with the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. It is hard to imagine now. We lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis when we did not know if we would get home or become dust.
Freedom fighters back then were not religious fanatics; they were people who stood up for freedom, the end to war and violence and a better way of living. They wanted PEACE!! We wanted disarmament.
We were tired of living under the constant threat of death.
Do you Hear me Now?
Freedom fighters speak with your tongues
Sing with the might of the wind
In your lungs, do you hear me now?
My mama told me, papa said it too
Son, the world’s divided and you know
Your cause is true, do you hear me now?
Can you see those mushrooms seed and burst
Spreading through our valleys breeding hunger
Breeding thirst. Do you hear me now?
Snowing in the winter, blossoms in the spring
If they drop the bomb in the summertime
It don’t mean a dog-gone thing
Do you hear me now?
Do you hear me now?
Freedom fighters speak with your tongues
Sing with the might of the wind
In your lungs, do you hear me now?
Do you hear me now?
