Lyrics
Does Freedom Live?
By: Lisa A. Courtney
July, 2003
You may ask if freedom lives today
As we go about our work and play
In our society of come what may.
Will we live to fight another day?
Does freedom live?
In our lives still;
The answer lies deep inside
In the heart and soul
Of you and I.
There?s power in unity
You just have to believe.
It?s worth the fight
To do what?s right
Don?t just turn and walk
Away__
Today__
Corruption is on the rise;
Politicians tell their big white lies;
Social security is running dry
Apathy is still alive.
Does freedom live?
In our lives still?
The answer lies deep inside
In the heart and soul
Of you and I.
Just have faith the size of a mustard seed;
That?s all you really need.
We?ll move mountains
If we believe?
That freedom lives__
Today_!
You may ask if freedom
Lives today;
Or if the concepts gone away
When everywhere you look and see,
Is Deceit, Greed, and Hypocrisy!
Does freedom live?
In our lives still.
The answer lies deep inside
In the heart and soul of you and I.
Just listen to that still small voice,
Lying deep inside your soul.
Together we can build a place
Where freedom rules
The World!
