About Freedom

"Freedom" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure. It was the first single released from Erasure's ninth studio album Loveboat. The track was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. "Freedom" (as well as the entire Loveboat album) was produced by Flood, and this is the first Flood-produced Erasure single since "The Circus" in 1987. Mute Records released "Freedom" in the United Kingdom and the single was never released in the United States due to problems with Erasure's then-record company Maverick (the Loveboat album would not see a US release until 2003). The song peaked at number 27 on the UK singles chart and at number eighty in Germany. In Sweden it charted for one week peaking at number 51. It also charted for a week in Germany, appearing at number 80.

Freedom will come 
To real love 
Heaven will come 
For real love 

Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah 
Run away when it hurts, from the things that we do 
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah 
Don`t know why we cry, run away from the truth 

Children of new men 
Colours of human kind, in shadow 
Good is your loving 
Growing and sharing storms 

Believe 
You`ve got to believe 

Calling the day freedom will come 
And we will arise to real love 
Day by day, heaven will come 
And we`ll survive for real love 

Cherish the union, the light in a stranger`s eyes 
Your guardian angel will make all the wrong things right 

Believe 
You`ve got to believe 

Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah 
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah 
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah 
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah 

Calling the day freedom will come 
And we will arise to real love 
Day by day, heaven will come 
And we`ll survive for real love 

Calling the day freedom will come 
And touch the sky in heaven above 
Day by day, heaven will come 
And we`ll survive for real love 

Calling the day freedom will come 
And touch the sky in heaven above 
Day by day, heaven will come 
And we`ll survive for real love 

Calling the day freedom will come 
And touch the sky in heaven above 
Day by day, heaven will come 
And we`ll survive for real love
