The gift of freedom and the struggles humanity can face in pursuit of it.

Freedom is not just a state of mind

It is something that many strive towards

Sometimes it is a struggle to find

But always worth striving for

The gift of freedom makes our spirits soar

The essence of humanity, it keeps us standing tall

No struggle can deny what is worth fighting for

When we learn to heed and obey freedom’s call

Many nations have endured true hardship and oppression

Struck down by the worm of bondage and fear

But when true victory crashes through the gates of affliction

It is freedom that will wipe away every tear

For some the road to freedom can be very long

The pain and suffering eating at the human soul

The sound of freedom is only a mere song

Igniting within the desire to be whole

Then when freedom comes bursting through the door

The song is like an anthem unleashing new life

We see that freedom was worth fighting for

Eliminating the struggle, heartache and strife

True freedom comes when our souls are free

From bitterness, hate and the perils of strife

This enables us to set the captives free

Who in turn can experience true freedom and abundant life
