Pick up the song

Sing, sing, let freedom ring.
What is freedom?
The ability to speak, speak
From what you've seen,
From what is your experience.
Story, story tell us your song.
Tell us why you are chained.
Then others want to silence,
Doubt, and add to the chains
Which bind you, you can't
Breathe the breath you need.
To feel the wind, so you cry.
Let us breath, let us rise,
Let us tell the story in song.
Our hardship has been too long.
Listen for once and let it rise.
Then maybe you'll hear us
And set us on the freedom trail.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness was never just for one.
