lyrics

FREEDOM KNOWS MY NAME
Writer: Melanie Safka with additional lyrics by Jess Leary


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

Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song. Nobody does this better.
