She told me the story I listened with my eyes closed
  So sad, but so true
  She whispered softly, I asked her why she did so
  She knew that I knew
  She was a skater, the ice was her second home
  The country's finest, everyone could see
  She had a plan to break across the border>
  Instead of waiting for the powers that be
  Cry freedom, sweet freedom
  And tell the whole world to get ready
  Cry freedom, sweet freedom
  Now tell the whole world that we're ready
    She said goodnight, and just as I was leaving Black car came into view
  And waiting there, they could hear me breathing The knew that I knew
  Cry freedom...
    Insane questions, they asked me what did I know
  So strange, they let me go
  The more they try, the stronger our love grows I know that you know
  Cry freedom...
