Freedom-Luther Allison

We talk about South Africa and we say it＇s a shame Apartheid is wrong and we all share the blame But people let me tell you, everywhere you go it＇s the same, people are being mistreated, when will it change? Let＇s talk about the future and learn from the past We must love one another if this world is going to last We fought for self-respect, we fought for equal rights We＇ve known a long, long time that discrimination ain＇t right Talking about freedom, freedom, freedom Talking about freedom, freedom, freedom A ghetto is no place for children to grow But you can find a ghetto everywhere you go I heard Dr. King say: ＂I have a dream＂ All he wanted was to let the freedom ring Why do we have to fight in wars to save our land If we get back alive, there＇s still no dignity Do I have to die before I can be free? I want freedom in my life, that＇s the way it＇s got to be Talking about freedom, freedom, freedom Talking about freedom, freedom, freedom I＇m tired of discrimination, this has to stop We must learn to live together before the bombs drop So if you love your children too this is what you should do Teach them to love one another, live by the Golden Rule Freedom of choice, freedom of speech, my freedom is up to you We were promised this freedom, but we have a long way to go The love of freedom, can＇t you tell, is the same for you and me All I need is someone to help me ring the Freedom Bell Talking about freedom, freedom, freedom Talking about freedom, freedom, freedom
