Be Free

Stacy Knasel 1968 (Troy)



Be free, be free,be free,
It's not about you,
It's not about me,
Must blood run in the streets,
My fault, your fault,
His fault, her fault,
Does not matter don't you see,
Be free be free be free,
No color,no gender, no race,
Is what we should not see,
Whoever bleeds shed red like all of us,
Beat them, kick them, punch them down,

Are you proud,
Stand up and turn around
Not for some, hide their truths,
 Cover heir. faces,
From those they have abused,
Be free, be free, be free,
That's what one day I hope to see,
Is for everyone to be free
