Be fair



be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
try to invade my privacy
cage my harmony
nor enslave my mentality


be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
treat love cruelly
for freedom is sweet
sweeter than honey
and valuable than money
it is priceless
and every one needs it regardless


be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
you autocrats, aristocrats
bureaucrats who pretends
to be democrats


be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
for even the tress
waive for freedom
anytime the air blows
and the fishes in the sea
cries for freedom
anytime the water flows
even the birds fly
in the sky
saying be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
