Freedom Fighter

Freedom Fighter

Today I sat alone and thought

Of all the blessings I've received

And of the trials I didn't choose

And why I still believe

I thought of all the slaves

All the tears and pain and grief

How heavy the darkness seems to loom

And press upon my belief

I thought about the children

Some free of fear and some not

My heart filled up with gratitude 

For everything I've got

And then I thought about freedom

A gift that was given to me

And I wondered how I'm doing

In this home of the brave and land of the free

I thought about my purpose

And all that I can do

To be a freedom fighter

And to ask you to be one too

I thought about liberation

How justice and mercy win

When abolitionists work together

to bring bring freedom back again
