Free, am I?
We learned when we were young
That we were free
Free from the world
Or so we thought
Our teachers never taught us
Trama
Never spoke that
Children kill themselves
Never braced us to think
That we were not free
Never said we should
Say no!
Never told us to
Be ourselves
No only that we were
Free
Until we weren't
Hear me
Hear my voice
I am free
You cannot touch me
I am a bird
You cannot fly high enough
I am women
You cannot shut me up
I am me
You cannot take away my
Freedom.
