Freedom


Free from chains and broken hearts

Free from life's obstacles and challenges

Free to be me, to show who I really am

I am free to be a woman, I'm free to love, I'm free to live

Free to be African-American, Free to write

Free to be whoever I want in life

I'm free to learn, I'm free to teach

I'm free to sing, to let my voice belt out into the streets

Free to speak my mind, to say how I feel

Free to have and raise a family, free to be a mother and a wife

I'm free to do whatever I want because

Freedom is my spirit, Freedom is what my anscetors fought for.....

Freedom is my life
