Freedom

Freedom isn't something
We should ever take for granted
It's a feeling resting deep inside
Its roots are firmly planted

From birth to death we struggle
To always do what's right
And sometimes lose our focus
The goal seems out of sight

Lose sight of what's important
Get hung up on petty things
At times forget there are some folks
Who don't have anything

Homes destroyed in an instant
Feeling terror every day
Is this the day their life will end
Ruthlessly snatched away?

The real measure of one's freedom
Is buried deep in our soul
Reach down every single day
Be thankful for your role
