Inalienable Fundamental Rights
i want to go home
to a place where i (I )belong
a place that holds values
up to the light and fighting strong
to hold my head up, high
because i (I) am with others who can hold
there values to the light
to walk hand in hand
into any man-made fight
and know, that we are fighting in the right
to look into our sons, and daughters little faces
and believe we have made, a much better place
i (I) want to be free
to know that no man has the right to seal (badge) from me
not my life or take way any of my rites (rights)
i (I) want to break bread with others of my own kind
the kind who don't seal (sea mammal) kill, or bend others minds (mind-control)
not even to receive, a piece of gold
set a top, a money mounted hill...
i (I) want to believe that i (I) will someday
be free....
free to walk, and talk beside you
knowing no man or woman has control over me!
