More freedom from oppression!

lyrics

Born To Be Free

I swear I heard a voice, the merest whisper
And I know you heard it too
It was carried on the wind, from shore to shore
From mountain high, to me and you.

“To be free, born to be free,” it said,
“To be free, we are all born to be free.”

From the womb, suckled with a mother’s love
To the grave, we are all born to be free.

As the bankers trade their shares in poverty,
The politicians trade debate;
To the palace of the despot, the blood money
Fuels the pain, fuels the hate.

“To be free, born to be free,” it said,
“To be free, we are all born to be free.”

From the womb, suckled with a mother’s love
To the grave, we are all born to be free.

Freedom’s not a word on dollar bills,
So freedom it can wait.
Freedom’s not a word on dollar bills,
So freedom it can wait.

“To be free, born to be free,” it said,
“To be free, we are all born to be free.”

From the womb, suckled with a mother’s love
To the grave, we are all born to be free.

To be free, we are all born to be free.
To the grave, we are all born to be free.
