Freedom Without True Freedom
Our rights are made of gold
And those who say otherwise are bold
Our rights are meant to withhold
From falling into the abyss with those who keep their hearts cold
Where everything in uncontrolled
And where there’s no one to hold
Our rights are worth it to uphold
But what happens when those rights grow mold
And the hearts of the people grow old
The people know well that rights aren’t sold
At least that’s what they’ve been told
But there are those who are left out in the cold
While the rest are wearing gold
Leaving everyone else with no option but to fold
When they are asked to ease the cold
They just say “That’s not the way we have rolled”
They know not the rule of gold
If you say a word they scold
Clearly this truth is undersold
But be bold
Because once the rules are told
And our rights remold
The people will behold
And the times of old
Will no longer be the way that it’s told
The days ahead will unfold
And will transform the lives of the cold
Where freedom will truly be gold
