Freedom

Freedom

It's not free anymore that was so 1964
 It left South with Joe down on interpass 9
 Yet we will not relent in fact we shall shine
 From the twin towers that had people perish
 To the music in our hearts that people cherish
 Just like back in the day at the disco in studio 64
 We shall proclaim the message that so many our searching for
 To let the love rule as we trust in the Lord nothing more
 Freedom is for the lonesome child who lost there way in the night
 Freedom looks to the handicapped, elderly & blind that their right
 Each of can learn to do our part in a world that's slowly dying
 We need to start learning to shining our light to all corners of the earth
 To the helpless, weak & torn
 Some may even curse the day they were actually born
 Freedom lay on the hill at Woodstock as Hendrix was wailing his guitar
 In each of our eyes we sought it's course out of it's delicate bars
 Learn from the prophets of old the very words of old
 Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow
 A challenge to be free is only a question of time
 Freedom sought out Dylan & the words of Joni Mitchell
 Lines forming in the sand while there you stay in the middle
 Children of the east come see the revolution
 Those promises made in the dark have now been brought to the fullest of light
