FAST FORWARD to February 11th 2011 and I am watching the TV in Bermuda as the Egyptians won their "FACEBOOK REVOLUTION" that day when Mubarak resigned. I knew that it was around the same time of the Mandela release years before and so I Googled the date. I was amazed that 21 years later to the day the people of EGYPT won their FREEDOM after years of dictatorship. I changed the "RAP" section to reflect the current times. I asked my good pal Johnny Woolridge if he would rearrange FREE for me...and he has done a great job for Ride the Wave Vol 2. Deric Dyer (ex Joe Cocker / Tina Turner, a Bermy, played Sax).

LYRICS
Each and every day the world is changing, people want to be happy, people wanna be free
The time has come to do some rearranging, something is missing, ya gotta agree
We all got to learn to live together, the messages are everywhere, just look around and see
FREE FREE FREE, they’ve knocked down the walls and they’re free
East and the West, challenging the rest to be free
FREE FREE FREE, people just want to be free
Courage and strength that’s what it takes to be Free
The best ideal is love and understanding, bright rays of hope, just come in time
The politics of life are so demanding, causes the friction, plays with our minds
Men give their lives and still we’re not together, what more does it take for everyone to be
FREE FREE FREE, they’ve knocked down the walls and they’re free
East and the West, challenging the rest to be free
FREE FREE FREE, people just want to be free
Courage and strength that’s what it takes to be Free
Rap/Chant
FREE FREE FREE, they’ve knocked down the walls and they’re free (come on over)
East and the West, challenging the rest to be free
FREE FREE FREE, People just want to be free
Courage and strength that’s what it takes to be Free
FREE FREE FREE, they’ve opened the gates and he’s free
Apartheid must fall, we all hear the call to be FREE
FREE FREE FREE, People just want to be free
Courage and strength that’s what it takes to be Free
