What Freedom Was

There was a time when freedom lived
She reached all parts of the world 
Like a soft wind 
Leaving the minds uncurled 
She was bold and proud 
People expressed their love to her aloud
All of her glory combined
One could say how they felt inside 
Opinions were described, defined 
Freedom wouldn’t leave you behind 
She was the essence of life 
Her power was enough to end all evil strifes 
It was a beautiful time to be alive
We really did thrive 
With her glory and grace
She could put a smile on your face 
Leaving her mark in every single place
When she would win
We could celebrate and dance the night away 
Always made you feel good within 
Her patriotism echos the playful blissful sounds of a violin 
After her song finished 
A standing ovation and applause would go undiminished
Life with her was not a crime
Freedom was our greatest time
