It seems Freedom was very short
In fact history tries hard to really abort
Oh Freedom Oh Freedom
When will we ever see the kingdom?
The past struggles continues in the present
Our own Leader is gone, but who will continue to represent?
God’s eyes have always been our guide
It is truly him we should abide
It seems races have separated according to a bunch
But it is true thinking with planning in the hutch
Is it a thought or just understanding mine?
Oh Freedom Oh Freedom
I weep in my sleep
The idea of not feeling the Freedom cuts ever so deep
The only thing I own is Freedom in my mind to keep
Freedom still being a fight
We can’t tire, but continue in numbers being might
Dr. Martin Luther King had the plan all along
Freedom is definitely where we all belong
Circumstance must change into equality
Respect must change into honor
Pride into dignity
Freedom being reality
I was not meant to be a slave
I have a place, and don’t need to behave
Respect is what I deserve
Dignity in looking ahead, and not down
No chains will ever keep me bound
I will never be silent and will always echo a sound
Oh Freedom when will I truly be free
I am keeping my eyes on thee
He is truly the key
I am a proud individual
I achieved where others said I couldn’t
I established where others said I wouldn’t
Equality is what we need
Only when Freedom is added and only then we can proceed
This is not a personal creed that was just made up
It’s not some silver spoon that came with a diamond cup
Who says Freedom is only for the chosen?
This is a nation and all are candidates for prosperity
Where there is a civil rights, there is a pen and paper to write
Sign Freedom on the dotted line
Remember our Civil Rights is what is combined
Stand up my Brothers and Sisters
Raise your arms and hands up high
No needing to ask the question of why
We all stand together for Freedom and that includes I.
