Fall down on your knees
For what we ask please
Nothing true comes with ease
Come touch the open breeze.

Who calls the shots?
The haves and have nots
Drawing straws and lots
Run with no ifs, buts and what's.

For the light does still burn
Another year your world will turn
Still time for you to learn
As long as your hunger does yearn.

A life of struggle and bear
For if you ever care
To take that first step and dare
That's freedom for you right there.
Living
