TO BE FREE

by Natalie - Cancer

I live in a country to say and do as I please
Restrictions are put upon me by government agencies
Morals and values given to us by people
Forgiveness of sins under a steeple
If I choose to disobey
A way out is to say
It was not me
Dreams of plenty
This is where they come true
Where our freedom a statue
Pledge our allegiance to stripes and stars
Rush about in our cars
Make dreams a reality
Never seeing practicality
Enjoy each other
Father, Mother, Sister, Brother
True to self and loyal to friend
Teach the young and care for elders until the end
Love is not lust
Life is not just
This is the way for me
In our country to be free
