What is Freedom?

You speak to me of freedom
But I wonder what it really means
In a world shackled by hunger and pain
All I hear are mourning and dins

Man is chained in his own greed
killing each other for gold
in such times of lawlessness
what the meaning of freedom hold?

Freedom, Oh! Freedom
I seek you in my heart and soul
free this world of violence and grief
Let no night of slavery befall.

Many many years later,
when time will grow old,
we will ruminate about those faces,
and recollect the zillion stories shared and told.

Sitting under the afternoon sun,
when our eyes will barely see,
believe me there will no chains then,
our minds will be free,
I know our minds will be free.
