Freedom

Freedom isn't something We should ever take for granted It's a feeling resting deep inside Its roots are firmly planted From birth to death we struggle To always do what's right And sometimes lose our focus The goal seems out of sight Lose sight of what's important Get hung up on petty things At times forget there are some folks Who don't have anything Homes destroyed in an instant Feeling terror every day Is this the day their life will end Ruthlessly snatched away? The real measure of one's freedom Is buried deep in our soul Reach down deep every single day Be thankful for your role
