Everybody's looking for it
Everybody's searching for it
Every Holy Scripture, every moving picture
And the songs on the radio
Everybody's digging for it
Scratching at the surface for it
Longing for a vision, kings and politicians
And the dreams of the workers below
And it won't let go
Until you come and heal my body and soul
And I won't give up
Until you fill this begging bowl
It can come in the still of the night
It can come at the end of a fight
It can come with a winning goal
Redemption, redemption
Everybody's crying for it
Soldiers lie in battle for it
Lovers and deceivers, haters and believers
And our hearts they don't know what they know
It can come when there's no hope at all
It can crash the unbreakable wall
It can come even when you don't call
Redemption, redemption
All we want is freedom, got to get some freedom
And emancipate from the years of hate
All we want is freedom, got to get some freedom
Feel the darkness shake out of heaven's sake
All we want is freedom, got to get some freedom
From the laws we make, and the love we fake
