Freedom On Our Sleeves

So many things that are scary

I don't think I can take it

The world frightens me

And the people in it irritate me

So much anger aimed everywhere

It seems like no one is living in peace

So many people who really don't care

Just living life so selfishly

Oh, how I want to change the world

But it only happens in fairy-tales

I see the flaw in my make-up

A rotten human being who can't have his own way

I have searched everywhere for happiness

Only to come up empty handed

not realizing happiness is a by-product of right living

It wasn't until years down the road I understood this truth

We need more peace then what we are giving out

So much mindless acts of cruelty that keeps us in fear

Locked up in cages in our own homes

I want to break free and shout it out

Like in the movie Braveheart, "Freedom!"

That's what it's all about

Not our petty differences

It means a hell of a lot more

Let us stand up for our nation

And wear freedom on our sleeves
