White Heart - King George lyrics

In times of old there was a king who Had his way And we were told the ways in which We were to pray A freer land was a dream across the sea So we set sail in pursuit of our beliefs We the people longed to know A place where faith could grow Everyone could take a stand That's why we fought to build this land King George - so glad we got away King George - the tyrant's in his grave But King George - is your shadow here today The tide has turned, a different wave Upon this shore Now we're so free, but tell me what's Our freedom for If we say His name, if our message Gets too strong The radio will never play this song The right is there to make a choice We all can speak with our own voice We can say - but we don't dare And all our schools don't have a prayer King George - we thought we got away King George - are you laughing in your grave King George - it hasn't really changed King George - is your shadow here to stay
