Liberty
Liberty is to be free and independent
Without slavery, imprisonment, or loss of right.
Though bit-by-bit many try to steal it away,
For if they were to take it all at once, we'd fight.
So protect your liberty that others don't have,
For beside life, there's nothing more precious on earth.
Too many have yearned, fought, suffered, and died for it.
And we must never lose sight of what liberty's worth.
Evil loves to strike liberty from the cheeks of men,
And it's been that way since the beginning of time.
For a mind that's not allowed to have a free thought.
Becomes but a slave to the masters of mankind.
