This happens to be one of my most favorite songs.
Here they are….
FreedomWe build walls when we ought to be building bridges
We lose touch when we ought to be holding on
We hold out when we really should be giving
We hold on when we’re holding on to nothing at all
Freedom from fear of certain failure
Freedom from the bar we place across every door
Freedom from things we just imagine
Freedom from all that came before
We speak out when we could learn so much in silence
We think twice when we shouldn’t think at all
We give in when we should stand and speak our truth
We give up then it’s going going gone
Chorus
Freedom from fear and failure, hunger and greed
Freedom from jealousy, pride, anger, and hypocrisy
Freedom from everything we want but really we don’t need
Freedom from glamour, illusion and insurance companies
Freedom from atomic bombs and wars and penitentiaries
Freedom from pain and sorrow and poor pitiful me
Freedom from sickness and suffering, ignorance and poverty
Freedom from all bondages, freedom just to be
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom…
