about

This song is for anyone who feels like their voice has been stripped away from them. It is an outcry of the past and a movement towards change. "Freedom" is dedicated to Ukraine—in honor of the Maidan revolution that took place starting in 2013, to all of those who lost their loved ones we are not giving up. This piece does not represent victory or a battle won, yet it presents a community (human beings) finally coming together as ONE!

lyrics

Freedom

Verse 1:
Countless atrocities over and over
A land where all have been oppressed
A learned helplessness
That left the people hopeless

Verse 2:
They’ve been stripped of their voices
And their rights as a people
But never again
Justice will prevail

Chorus:
With one voice we cry out for salvation
May the truth be heard
Enemies will vanish like the dew in the sun
Peace shall reign once more.

Verse 3:
A revolution has begun
We make our stand once and for all
At last, hand in hand, shield by shield

Verse 4:
Do not be afraid of terrors in the night
Souls and bodies we lay down
Fame and glory will resound

Chorus:
With one voice we cry out for salvation
May the truth be heard
Enemies will vanish like the dew in the sun
Peace shall reign once more.

Bridge:
Freedom (x4 = 3 times)
