Freedom the Song I Bring


















Freedom, freedom, freedom

Catching a ride on a runaway train
it's time  for you and I to change
it's time for you and I to re-arrange
together we can break the chain

freedom ..is the song I bring
lift our voices let us sing
freedom..is the song I bring

liberty isn't found in an aluminum can
liberty isn't sold at the corner store
liberty is something worth fighting for
liberty is something men & women die for

it's time for us to heal
it's  time for us to feel
need to break these chains

freedom..is the song I bring
lift our voices let us sing
freedom..is the song I bring

liberty isn't found in an aluminum can
liberty isn't sold at the corner store
liberty is something worth fighting for
liberty is something men & women die for

it's time for us to love
it's time for us to shine above
need to break these chains

freedom..is the song I bring
lift our  voices let us sing
freedom..is the song I bring

it's time  for you and I to change
it's time for you and I to re-arrange
together we can break the chains

freedom, freedom, freedom
  freedom, freedom, freedom
    we're dreaming of freedom

  8. Freedom empowers mainstream earthlings,
    to sing in song while out surfing,
    rejecting the chains of insanity,
    Lets rejoice in the bonds of humanity

  14. I love how you have structured this...it is lyrical and musical and it also reminds me of positive self talk - if we tell ourselves something often enough we hopefully one day believe it to be true...

  17. I hear it as the insistent rhythm of a steam train- the engine of change, perhaps?
