Words of Freedom

Some are unlike us in how they might act How does that make them less of a person You’re wrong, you’re fat, you’re ugly, you’re stupid Our words can maim them worse than our weapons So let’s use our words for good – not evil I love you- you’re special – you’re beautiful Words can help us see the good in people A few kind words can make the day joyful A few will try to silence our voices But we must break free from hate and deceit Let them know we’re free to make our own choices Our future will not be defined by their drumbeat Freedom does not mean we have to conform Or be hated for voicing opinions We’re not indebted to follow the norm Or practice the popular religions We call ourselves free but free we are not We are slaves to current theology Never grateful for the things that we’ve got Instead, demanding an apology We live in a country where leaders say You are undesirable therefore flawed Still I ask should not they be free to stay Aren’t we all equal in the eyes of God Our country is broken there is no doubt To fix it we must all work together First we must recall what freedom’s about Stand united and strive for the better
