Freedom
| Many of those who fought for freedom they died so very young Their lives ‘twould seem were wasted though their praises are sung Yes ‘twould seem their lives were wasted alas they died in vain For even in democratic Countries many aspects of lack of freedom do remain For people who are homeless and hungry and sleeping rough For them life is a battle and times are always tough Freedom from homelessness and hunger not taken into account Still the numbers of the homeless and the hungry with each passing day does mount Freedom of attack from another when we walk down the street This is as an important a freedom as enough to drink and eat It was for the thing called freedom that many brave young people died Yet the most basic of freedoms to far too many is denied, It is one basic freedom your choice who Governs your Homeland But there is far more to true freedom than we wish to understand.
