We were the sailors in the summer In the winter we climbed the hills We were swimmers for a season Even out to sea you'd see us We left footsteps on the beaches Trails of sand back to the road There's nothing left there to teach us Only the knowledge of your going Were we folks you recognised When we came into your view? Did you notice who we were Or were we strange shapes in truth? Maybe it was how the light fell Maybe just the time of day Perhaps a storm had just passed over Or perhaps we were never there The land will surely come One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free As the birds Letras de cancionesWe were sailors in the summer In the winter we stayed in No one heard us break the water Or saw our shapes on the horizon We were strangers on the coast Outsiders to the land No one thought to ask us questions No one thought to understand We were prisoners to the city We had nowhere else to go All our dreams like fallen leaves On some unremembered road Sometimes no land would come One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free As the birds We're high above jail walls and windows We're high above the waves of worry We're floating on the wind Cause nothing can begin To make us want to land again One day One day One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free One day we're gonna be free As the birds From Letras Mania
