Freedom

(album: Chapter 4: Labor Pains - 2008)

It makes no difference who you are or what color you happened to be
As long as you're live and breathing, this is got to be one of journey

Hey, as a young girl I had my heart set on many big dreams
Then I grew up and found the world ain't nothing what it seems
Hey, then the tears came down the face of my reality yeah
When I realized how mean and rude this world can be

And if I ruled the world (I would give love to all the woman and children)
I would break free every mind (and I would supply all the dollars to feed them)
There would be peace and love on Earth (There'd be no war, peace study no more)
Soldiers be free to make the choice (to live or die so I'd free them the voice)

All I want is freedom (from all the stress, the test, the mess, the lies of your enemies)
All I want is freedom (freedom to fight for everything that you believe)
Freedom (Freedom to say what you think, free from the prejudice that changes all)
All I want is freedom (you have to have it, where would you be without your freedom)

And no matter, if you're from the hood or from the hills of Beverly
Soil of America, from the far place overseas
Black, yellow or white, straight, gay or somewhere in between
We all want a one nation under god that's free

And if I ruled the world (I would give love to all the woman and children)
I would break free every mind (and I would supply all the dollars to feed them)
There would be peace and love on Earth (There'd be no war, peace study no more)
Soldiers be free to make the choice (to live or die so I'd free them the voice)

All we need our freedom (from all the stress, the test, the mess, the lies of your enemies)
All we need our freedom (freedom to fight for everything that you believe)
All we want Freedom (Freedom to say what you think, free from the prejudice that changes all)
All I want is freedom (you have to have it, where would you be without your freedom)

Every man, woman and child deserves the right to be free
One nation under god living just for all

(We want our freedom) As it makes no difference who you are
(We want our freedom) Or what color you happened to be
(We want our freedom) As long as you're live and breathing (Sing daddy)
This is got to be one of journey

All I want is my freedom (from all the stress, the test, the mess, the lies of your enemies)
All I want is freedom (freedom to fight for everything that you believe)
Freedom (Freedom to say what you think, free from the prejudice that changes all)
All I want is freedom (you have to have it, where would you be without your freedom)
