About Me

My name’s Alan Sprung and I was born in Coventry, England on the 16th March 1950.

I’ve been writing my own songs since about 1995. I like to write songs that encourage people to think about social and political issues that I believe are important.

I still live in Coventry with my partner, Maggie Holdsworth, and we have two lovely daughters - Ella, who was born in 1983 and Eppie, who was born in 1986.

If you need to contact me you can email me at the following address:

Hope you find a song that means something to you.

Searching For Freedom

Forced to run and leave his loved ones
Leave his troubled land
Came in search of life in England
Hoped we’d understand

Treated like an outcast leper
Lost among the stars
Forced to raise the torch of freedom
Through his prison bars

Didn’t have a home to go to
Stumbled through the night
Couldn’t find a friend to turn to
Lost the will to fight

Couldn’t see a future coming
Never felt so low
Heard the voice of freedom calling
Knew he’d have to go

Found the tree of heaven waiting
Reaching for the sky
Knew that he could win his freedom
Only had to die
