Education for Freedom


A young women traveling round about

Some called her lost, some a free spirit

She never danced to the beat of another’s drum

Many trials and failures, successes and triumphs

Facing it all with weightless defiance

Now she has come to find meaning and purpose

The life of others she desires to impact

She dreams of job where this can be

Helping others become truly free

She hears the cry of nations all around

Human rights longing to be respected

People with visions and dreams like her own

Her knowledge and talents long for release

Education is the answer, it is the key

It is the power she needs to finally be free

Free to fulfill the dreams she has

Free to help those in need

Free to help others become free indeed
