Freedom

Chris Hadfield: What does freedom look like?

24 January 2014 Last updated at 12:40 GMT

Commander Chris Hadfield became famous during a five-month stint on the International Space Station in 2013.

While in space, he would look out upon the world and share his images across social media.

One image - of Berlin at night - particularly stood out for him as it embodied freedom.

Talking to the BBC, while at London's Science Museum, Commander Hadfield said the difference in the lights between east and west Berlin represented "a lingering echo of a freedom that has been regained."

come second.

Until you...
We get equal pay, yeah.

But this needs a leader.
Someone to inspire the girls,

You can do this and
you should.

Unrest is when you actually
come out and strike.

This is about one date
Equal pay or nothing.

"(I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be) Free"

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it is to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

One love one blood
One life you've got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers

One love but we're not the same
We got to carry each other Carry each other
One One One One One...

I knew how it would feel to be free
I knew how it would feel to be free
