Freedom

An old man once said

When the war is over we would be free

He said that we'd have to drive

Those Nazis back to Germany

His vote in the post-war years

Was a steadfast cast for FDR

'Cause he thought that the new deal

Would heal a nation's bleeding heart

A man in his middle years

Shed tears about the economy

He said that the balance of the deficity

Would set us free

He was caught in a fragile state

Cause the Dow had never sunk this far

So he searched for the deliverance

At the bottom of a bottle at a local bar

Everybody, Everybody wants to be free

But I'm here to tell you

Freedom

Can only be found in the blood of Jesus

Freedom

Can only be known in the love of God

Freedom

Comes to whoever would dare to believe Jesus is

Freedom

A child once spoke of the hour

When school would end and he could play

His freedom waited for him

At the ending of another day

His dream was to get to his home

For a stickball challenge on the avenue

If he could get past the dealer

Selling dope

In the middle of the hall at the grammar school
