Tell him again he don't care much to hear   Mtsheleni madoda akafuni ukulalele      I was talking to him again   But the never understands me   He thinks it is very strange   That I should question what he hands me   He can't imagine I have a feeling for what I can be      Hey brother! Listen to the river whenever you want to remember the sea   Hey brother! Listen to the feeling in your heart it also flows through me      CHORUS:   Tell him again - he don't care much to hear   Tell him again - I need my liberty   Tell him again - freedom's in the air   Tell him again - take these chains off me   Tell him again - he don't care much to hear   Tell him again - he is just like me   Tell him again - freedom's in the air   Tell him again - I was born to be free      We have all been sentenced to this life   Everyone is a defendent   We are all prisoners of time   We are destined to spend it   But we must be free to choose the way we serve the sentence      CHORUS      If there comes a time   I will take this life   And lay it down   For my liberty   Oh it's such a shame   Such a tragedy   But it's all I have   To make you see   All the air I breathe   All the things I have   They don't mean that much   If I can't be free      CHORUS      So long I've been waiting   All my heart is breaking   Freedom long forsaken   Together we can make it
