At the breaking of the dawn day is born again
Just another missing link in an endless chain
Filling up the empty space left by the one who's gone
Freedom's child was born today singing freedom songs

With his colors flying high and his gun in hand
Volunteer to fight and die in a foreign land
Just another minor chord in a worn out song
Freedom's child goes marching there singing freedom songs

Drifting through a crowded park
Theres an empty swing
Hidden in the sparrows eye
When it's on the wind

Planted on a lonely hill
With his name unknown
Freedom's child was laid to rest
Singing freedom songs

At the breaking of the dawn day is born again
Just another missing link in an endless chain
Filling up the empty space left by the one who's gone
Freedom's child was born today singing freedom songs

Freedom's child was laid to rest
Singing freedom songs
