FREEDOM
AREN'T
YOU GLAD THAT YOU WERE BORN FREE?
THERE
ARE MANY OTHERS WHO AREN'T, YOU SEE.
WE
CAN ALWAYS SAY ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO
AND
DO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT TO DO.
OUR
FREEDOM IS LOTS OF TIMES TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
WE
FEEL AS IF SEEDS OF GOOWILL HAVE BEEN PLANTED.
NOT
ALL PEOPLE FEEL AS FREE
TO
BE ABLE TO BE ALL THAT THEY WANT TO BE.
FOR
LOTS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES HAVE UNREST,
AND
THEIR LEADERSHIP IS NOT THE BEST.
THEY
PUNISH THEIR PEOPLE FOR WHAT THEY SAY
OR
TORTURE SOMEONE FOR WHAT THEY DID THAT DAY.
THEY
ALWAYS BLAME EVERYTHING ON THE U.S.
FOR
THEY DON'T WANT THEIR PEOPLE TO GUESS,
HOW
REALLY GREAT IT ACTUALLY IS TO BE FREE,
TO
BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE.
TO
WORSHIP THE LORD WHEN YOU FEEL BLUE,
AND
BE ABLE TO STUDY AND LEARN WHAT YOU WANT TO.
FOR
EVERYONE SHOULD BE FREE,
JUST
LIKE I HOPE WE WILL ALWAYS BE.
