Scream of Freedom

Scream, scream, and scream Sometimes, you want to scream But you cannot, you just cannot You can no longer dream You just cannot, but you cannot You cannot eat, you cannot fall asleep But can only imagine and think deep Nothing is possibly going right And you know that you must fight To go on, because so much is at stake And you must grab the flag, head or take The leadership to struggle, to protect And to save so many. Respect Is what you earn when you win Success is what you deserve when You defeat the hypocrites, the bullies The wild henchmen, and the enemies. The enemies are alert and watching The serpents are sneaky and sneering You must be the best that you can By being a silent fighter, a brave person Sometimes, you want to scream But you can no longer dream Even though you can't scream, don't give up Never, never give up, because hope Is the last resort. And miracles Will happen to the ones, not at the tables Because they are now too weak to speak And too powerless to reach the peak But do your best to scream internally Scream inward and mumble to be free Words cannot be killed and murdered And words can be silently muttered All the victims will mumble, in unison, one day Like the irate thunders of a treacherous storm To charm the hopeless and to sound the alarm From a good fight, you shall never walk away God is always watching and listening You and I must not be afraid to scream We must find a way to dream and to ring The bells of opportunities, to stream Like the flows of a thawing river in spring Yes, you and I must stand up to chant and to sing The songs of success, the words of peace and freedom So the deaf shall hear and we shall overcome Scream, scream, and scream To wake up the dead in their dream.
