Am I talking nonsense
Can anybody hear me
Can they hear what I say?
Are they listening today?

I HEAR YOU!

Is there something worth saying?
Or am I only just praying?
Am I preaching to a crowd
Or just shouting out loud?

I WILL HOLD YOU,
I WILL CHERISH YOU.

Am I shouting too loudly
For anyone to hear me?
Do they not hear the joy
Or do they hear only noise.

I AM NOT RUNNING AWAY.
I WILL STAY WITH YOU TODAY.

I am only here to help you
In everything you choose to do.
To help you find your way through
To find out what is true.

YOU MAY HAVE WHAT I NEED.
I WON’T TURN IT INTO GREED.
I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
I WILL DANCE TO THE MUSIC
YOU ARE PLAYING.

Life is not all that you are believing;
It can be so painfully deceiving
Because people can get rich
From creating the perfect pitch.

YOU TAUGHT ME LIFE IS LOVE;
LIFE IS MORE ELEGANT THAN LIES.
I BELIEVE MORE THAN WHAT IS SEEN
BY USING ONLY MY TWO EYES.

Clowns can dress as businessmen
And go on and act the fool again
It’s up to you to always remember
What they are December to December.

MEN HAVE WALKED ON THE MOON,
I HAVE SEEN TOO MANY TREES HEWN.
DO THOSE THINGS EXCLUDE EACH OTHER?
HOW CAN I CALL THAT PERSON A BROTHER?

Stay aware of the secret clown.
Look into faces and stare them down.
Stay aware of what they do.
Don’t let them successfully steal from you.

I HAVE COME BECAUSE BIDDEN
TO BE CAUTIOUS OF WHAT IS HIDDEN.
YOU HAVE TRIED TO WAKE ME
TO THINGS THAT WILL BREAK ME.
YOU SING TO ME OF LOVING LIFE
AND WARN ME OF THE HIDDEN KNIFE.

Why listen to lies in happy talk?
Why would you sit when you can walk?
Why be fooled another day
When you get get up and run away?

TODAY I HAVE LEARNED TO WALK AWAY
FROM WHAT I WANTED YESTERDAY
IF WHAT I WANTED SPOILED ME
FROM TODAY’S BEAUTY.

Lies can come in any disguise.
Invest your future in those who are wise.
Teach yourself the Freedom song.
Listen to wisdom and you won’t be wrong.

THE FREEDOM SONG
CAN NEVER BE WRONG
IF IT IS SUNG
BY OLD AND YOUNG
TO CELEBRATE
AND REFUSE TO WAIT
SO ALL OF HUMANITY
CAN FOREVER BE FREE.
