Here I am, burnin' man,
Singing the song of my open soul
Will time pass me?
all my dreams are heaven known.

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

Rise up burnin' man,
seize the wild, take command.
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 the 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 from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy,
It soon will pass

We need love
You 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.
