Lyrics
Freedom’s Way
Howard Jeffrey © 2011 Open Vein Music
Round and round she goes
Where she stops she never will
Inside we know
Yes everybody knows
It’s freedom’s price we pay
Every tear of blood we cry out every day
It’s always been this way
Yes, Freedom’s way
Verse
Oh Liberty, please don’t tread on me
You won’t set me free,
Just because I’m poor, you see?
We may disagree, oh but, it’s tyranny
If one child wakes up hungry
Then no one’s really free, how can it be
That you don’t see?
Verse
Oh equality you’re forgetting me
I can die but I must hide
And you won’t marry me
We may disagree, oh but, it’s tyranny
If you close the door on some
Then no one’s really free, how can it be
That you don’t see?
Verse
Oh Prosperity, lay your hands on me
I have worked and clawed and labored
For a few crumbs for me
We may disagree, oh but, it’s tyranny
When so few own everything
There’s nothing left for me
And no one’s really free, how can it be
That you don’t see?
