Free
us to be free –
Because
so much progress
Has
been blind to our beauty
Because
so much advice
Has
been deaf to our song
And
we will only be free
When
we take responsibility
For
ourselves
Free
us to be free –
Because
so many leaders
Have
been corrupted by power
Because
so many followers
Have
been weakened by need
And
we will only be free
When
we write the history
Of
our people
Free
us to be free –
Because
we are out of sync
With
the beat of the world
Because
we are out of step
With
the march of civilization
And
we will only be free
When
we dance the melody
Of
our land
Free
us to be free –
Because
too many problems
Began
as gifts from others
Because
too many solutions
Have
not been home grown
And
we will only be free
When
we follow the decree
Of
our hearts
So
if you really care
As
much as you say
Pray,
let us go
To
find our own way
Free
us to be free –
Free
to fly the nest of ideology
Free
to fight for the dreams
Of
our children
