Freedom Knows My Name - Melanie

Freedom pulls my heartstrings

As I board another plane

It’s not leaving I am wanting

But freedom knows my name

Friends turn into strangers

Strangers can be cold

I’ve been blessed with angels

At least I’m not alone

And they come to me in a sunrise

In the words of some old song

In the name of all creation

In a life long out of bounds

Freedom knows my name

Freedom knows my name

Tender roots grow deep with longing

To the core of solid ground

Mine go left of center

And slightly off the ground

Through the war torn ages

Scenes of freedom’s fight

Drawn on hidden pages

Haunt our dreams at night

Freedom knows my name

Freedom knows my name

To the child without a promise

To the frightened and the tame

Although it’s just a whisper

Freedom knows your name
