Freedom Fight

Just because it has always been does not mean it should always be The institutions have failed the madmen We must fight for our right to be free Though the fires of rebellion have raged through the night There are none who know the enemy, and fewer still who see Just because it has always been does not mean it should always be The silent tigers wait in the wings For the crowd including me, but always, always, always We must fight for our right to be free Few there are who realize that they hold the key The jailers all have fooled us with what it means to be free Just because it has always been does not mean it should always be Awaken sleeping masses The time to make our choices is very soon to be; like our lives depend on it We must fight for our right to be free To everyone who listens and can pretend not to see From your prison cells of privilege here is the message from me Just because it has always been does not mean it should always be; ALWAYS We must fight for our right to be free
