The Song Of Freedom

The Song Of Freedom
Written by Raymond Lee Peltier

Freedom is a song we sing
A tune we all know well;
We have many rights and liberties
That some would willingly sell.

Freedom is a law we pass
A law to protest mankind;
It’s a policeman, a politician or a judge
It’s a lawyer with a loophole to find.

Freedom is a place in time
It’s like an early morning frost;
It’s a rules gift, it’s a slaves desire
It can’t be won or lost.

Freedom doesn’t come to faint of heart
And doesn’t stay very long;
To those who would rather listen
Then be the one to sing this song.
