Take Your Freedom

Is freedom given? Is freedom taken? Should San Andres sit, sit like the beggar? Beg for freedom, beg to get better, Or defy the oppressor, and our soul deliver. Take your freedom, take it now! For only beggars have no choice, But we not beggars, we not dumb, Take your freedom, take it now. Take your freedom, it will be rough, Speak it , walk it, sing it loud, At freedom table, sit and chow, Take your freedom, make it known. Take your freedom, take it now! With prison jail, chain and bars, Just but few steps, from freedom hall, Take your freedom, take it all. Take your freedom, take it all! Some may say, we will not thrive, The sea the land blessed, God will provide, Take your freedom, take it boy! Take your freedom, take your land! No more the oppressor, chain our hands, Nicaragua or Colombia, none we want, Take your freedom, take it man. If take not freedom, but candy bars, Come with offers, low wages brought, And lies repeated, believe them all, You’re still slave minded, get freedom y’all. Take your freedom, and life preserve, Endure the hardship, with death sentence roam, Like great Mandela, in South Africa endured, Take your freedom, free those who’ll come. Take your freedom, from oppressors hand, Nicaragua Colombia, distress our land, Are both slave drivers, from Spain they learned, Take your freedom, it’s God’s command.
