Freedom is a treasure
If you want it, go get it

Are we free?
That’s what they say
But were really not
This oppressions getting kind of hot
They say they help but it’s all talk
Man, this oppression needs to stop

Freedom is a treasure
If you want it, go get it

It’s a free country
Open our eyes
Why won’t we?
I know you’d like that
So would I

In the world it’s an eye for an eye
Land of the free, home of the brave
Truth is
We’re not anymore free than a slave

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.
