Freedom Song

Freedom Song


Abashing peace with painted night
Avenging hope with stars

She sang against the barren plains
Her voice sprang through the bars

She refused to be silent by time and revelation
She defied the sterotype and in her degradation

She sang as if the thing she sung were hers
Though knew not the span of carelessness

The freedom of the birds
Her tribesmen shunned her open heart
Why sing while bound in chains?

I sing of this because I know that
I'll b

e free again
