Freedom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Freedom rings loudly now
Listen up, hear the sound
Of screaming as the shots ring out
That's what freedom sounds like now
Beating drums, fathers' sons
Teach 'em well till kingdom come
Steal the daylight from the Sun
That's what freedom has become
Stand over the shadow of a man
Staring down his lifetime with blood stained hands
What had you planned to say?
Underground, out to sea
Bodies come to rest in peace
Fighting for the right for more
That's what freedom has in store
Asphalt burns, unsoled feet
Vacant eyes in defeat
Lost the thread on every dream
That's what freedom's come to mean
Stand behind the handle of a gun
Staring down the future daring time to run
Like time could run away
Freedom's glowing sadly now
Listen up, look around
Candles burn in memory
Freedom is a fading dream
