Lyrics
BROTHER MARTIN Freedom, freedom, freedom, over me. . . Was the darkest of many desperate days in nineteen sixty-eight Before a nation lost her soul in a hail of bullets at Kent State Like our best friend, in your prime, they had to go and take you down And I wonder how things would be today if you were still around? Would mainstream radio still be just as one-sided? And would a nation called “united” be so divided? Would there be a nightmare every day somewhere in Iraq? And would soldiers have their own nightmare who somehow made it back? Would backlash from a clueless Congress still be barely startin' If you were here with us today, brother Martin? Would children still be so afraid to go outside and play? As their future is discarded, would we still look the other way? Would a president still say, “if you're not with us, you're against us”? As veterans sittin' in wheelchairs are called “traitors” when they protest? Would World War Three be just a stone's throw away from startin' If you were here with us today, brother Martin? Now though we were born with a different shade of skin Freedom rings within my soul, just like we're next of kin And before I'll be their slave, I'll be buried in my grave And gone on to our home. . . free at last
