GIVE ME FREEDOM

GIVE ME FREEDOM

Take everything away from me but give me freedom,
Help me, assist me, but give me my freedom.
Educate me but give me freedom.
Give me aid but leave me my freedom,
Mock me, abuse me, revile me, hate me, loath me,
jeer me, encourage me, support me,
demean me if you want to, but leave me my freedom.
Torture my soul, break my heart, cause me pain,
persecute me if you must but set me free.
Take away everything from me if you must,
but leave me my self dignity, let me be,
let me be me, let me be free, give me freedom.
I am not requesting, I am demanding,
I am not pleading, I am stating;
I want freedom and I want it now,
My freedom to chose, my freedom to think,
My freedom to my opinion, my freedom to feel,
my freedom to  express, my freedom to speak,
my freedom to decide, my freedom to become,
my freedom to be who I am, who I was meant to be.
So take away everything from me but give me freedom.

Give me freedom I repeat!
Tie my feet in chains and heavy shackles if you must,
 but give me freedom.
Give me freedom I reapeat!
With freedom I can recover everything I lost,
With freedom I can recapture everything beseiged,
I can create every dream unseen.
With freedom I can rebuild everything destroyed,
I can take back everything plundered,
With freedom I can get back everything I lost.
Take away everything from me but leave me free.
This is my one man mass protest for freedom.
If I am not given freedom, then by force shall I take,
For at this crossroad, there is only one path to take,
that path with a bold sign, the bold sign reads "FREEDOM"
Give me freedom or give me nothing.
