This Is Where Freedom Finds a Way
Is it printed on a poster for all to read
A newspaper closed due to printing what a government didn't want you to hear
A book explaining a better way to live
Graffiti on a wall telling you how it is
This is where freedom finds a way
Broadcast on a radio crackling above live fire
On a television screen, a documentary you have seen
On speakers corner gather round and hear the truth
In a meeting above a pub telling how it was
This is where freedom finds a way
Is it behind the wire of a concentration camp
or cowering in a air raid shelter with sirens ringing your ears
In a first world war trench awaiting certain death
behind the doors of a prison cell
This is where freedom finds a way
In your heart, the pain friends lost
your soul knowing right from wrong
eyes seeing the cruelty and the crimes
In your ears injustice spoken
this is where freedom finds a way
do not oppress us
make us slaves
make us do things against our will
the human race will rebel
this is where freedom finds a way
free will
