Freedom only exists When everyone is free. It cannot be called freedom If it only refers to me. I have watched people lie And say all men are equal, And ignore that they believed It didn't refer to black people Or gays, or Jews or Latinos Based on centuries of shame. When we start to fix all that Bigots see it’s not a game. It’s time we humans grow up And stop acting the heathen. There is no word more loving Than that one word, freedom. We’re a different sort of people Than we were living in caves. We need to rely on more than A sign that says “Jesus Saves.” We suffer from maladies now That have been here all along, To think a latecomer ideology Can fix things is just wrong. We need to focus on how we As humans have make errors And agree to stop doing them And become the standard bearers. Freedom only exists When everyone is free. It cannot be called freedom If it only refers to me.

FREEDOM SONG
Freedom only exists When everyone is free. It cannot be called freedom If it only refers to me. I have watched people lie And say all men are equal, And ignore that they believed It didn't refer to black people Or gays, or Jews or Latinos Based on centuries of shame. When we start to fix all that Bigots see it’s not a game. It’s time we humans grow up And stop acting the heathen. There is no word more loving Than that one word, freedom. We’re a different sort of people Than we were living in caves. We need to rely on more than A sign that says “Jesus Saves.” We suffer from maladies now That have been here all along, To think a latecomer ideology Can fix things is just wrong. We need to focus on how we As humans have make errors And agree to stop doing them And become the standard bearers. Freedom only exists When everyone is free. It cannot be called freedom If it only refers to me.
