lyrics

Freedom Song

Freedom won’t ever call your name - it’s not a game that ends in truth or fame. Presided over by cause and effect, the world is here to present us with our debts.

Freedom won’t ever call your name – it’s got a price, we must give up our shame
The fight is more than a song and a phrase; we have to be willing to give up our name.

We rest in the struggle, to fade to black in peace. We rest in the struggle to give up our eternity.

Accountability is more than taking the blame. Where were you when we sealed our fate? Did you watch as we chose hate over love? Did you wait for help from above?

This moment is all that we have, even as we die we can lend a helping hand. Humanity will pay the price, but we can do right before fading into the night.

So many roads we could have traveled, but we chose power over equality, and now our end we can see.

about

Sreejit Poole Seattle, Washington

Blues-Folk-Poetry-Soul to bridge the heart and mind - a little bit of emotional instability to open up the possibilities - old school for the old souls, and we are all old souls after all - just in want of a little humanity.
