Finally Free
For their freedom they took a stand
Through pain and sufferage they never surrendered
They stood up for what they believed in and they never backed down
Through discrimination and what little privileges that they had
they fought for their freedom in their own country that claimed to be free
It took one voice, one man, one dream
to shake a nation of its feet
a dream that screamed freedom
that all people were to be equal
It took millions of tears to make one right
a right thats civil for us all
a right that swept across the nation and made us human
a right that deserves attention
a right that saves people each and every day
a right that made us who we are and who we want to be
we dont have to worry about race anymore
we dont have to worry about gender
we can sleep at night knowing that we're safe
knowing that we can be ourselves
we have freedom
freedom of speech
freedom of religion
freedom of who we are
We're finally free and that belongs to us.
