Sometimes the winds of change blows your way
You can choose to run or stay and face the day
Sometimes you don't know why you are called
You stand for something, all for one and one for all
Only time will show why the wind would blow your way

I've loved you through the years
I've cried, but not your tears
Of love and separation
From the ones you love and your nation

Somewhere the river flows made of tears
(A river made of tears)
And the hands of time can't bring back the years
Somewhere in your heart you drew the lines
(And you drew up the lines)
Never looking back, you made the highest climb
Only flesh and bone, standing on your own, you led the way
(You led the way)

And I've loved you through the years
I've cried, but not your tears
Of love and separation
From the ones you love and your nation
And I've loved you from a distance
Your pride, your strength and your resistance to be free
(To be free, yeah, yeah)

Sometimes the winds of change blows your way
You can choose to run or stay and face the day
Only time will show why the winds will blow your way

I've loved you through the years
I've cried, but not your tears
Of love and separation (separation)
From the ones you love and your nation
And I've loved you from a distance
Your pride, your strength and your resistance to be free

(Free, yeah, free, yeah)
To be free (free, yeah)
To be free (free, yeah)
To be free (free, yeah)
To be free (free, yeah)
To, to be free (free, yeah)
Free, yeah
Free, yeah
Free, yeah
