Here I am, burnin' man Singing the song of my open soul Will time pass me? All my dreams, a heaven knows I don't wanna be cheated I can't go on in a world where love is beaten Rise up burnin' man See, is the white taken man? Days of thunder see me shine All my dreams turn out fine I know the suffering will end, my friend When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land I know the hateful will burn When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land I know the fear of dying Heard it from a meltdown blast I know that Lord have mercy It soon will pass I know it, I don't wanna be cheated I can't go on in a world where love is beaten Where love is defeated I know the suffering will end, my friend When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land I know the hateful will burn When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land I know the fear of dying Heard it from a meltdown blast I know that Lord have mercy It soon will pass We need love We gotta want it so bad We need it now So run to it fast I know it, and the world will be cheated I can't go on in a world where love is defeated I know it, I don't wanna be cheated I can't go on in a world where love is defeated No, no, no, no, no, no, no, where love is defeated Can't go on in a world where love's defeated No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no The last note of freedom
