She told 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

Chorus:
Cry freedom, sweet freedom!
Tell the whole world to get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom!
Tell the whole world, that we're ready

She said goodnight, but just as I was leaving
A black car came into view
And waiting there they could hear me breathing
They knew that I knew

Chorus

(Solo: Mick Box)

Insane questions, they asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
But more they try, the stronger our love grows
I know that you know

Chorus
