POWER & FREEDOM

©Vaughan Hoy 2015

You were born 

With your power and freedom

They came with you

You don't redeem 'em


Life and love

Is a 

Big thing

And you wanna

Hang on and keep em'


Power and freedom

You don't redeem them

Power and freedom


Don't give em' away

To another person

On another day

You don't trade em'


A teacher may tell you

Only what you can do

But they can't take away

Your point of view


Job may grind you down

Feel'n like undertown

No place is home

Can't take your soul and bone


Power and freedom

You don't redeem them

Power and freedom


A bank may 

Own your home

But not your power 

And freedom


A politician may lie 

And take your vote

Not your power 

and freedom


No religion 

Can steal your soul

Or your power 

And freedom


Power and freedom

You don't redeem them

Power and freedom


No government

Can take your 

Identity

Or your power and freedom


The media 

The morning news

Can't take away 

Your

Personal views


Love real love

Don't take away 

From your power and freedom

Love real love

Your gonna need them


Power and freedom

You don't redeem them

Power and freedom

You don't redeem them


Power over freedom

Ain't the same 

Control and domination

You don't need 'em


Families can't take away 

Your power

And freedom


You were born 

With your power and freedom

They came with you

You don't redeem 'em


Life and love

Is a 

Big thing

And you wanna

Hang on and keep em'


Power and freedom

You don't redeem them

Power and freedom

You don't redeem them.................................They came with you.
