The Silence of Freedom

 

I was born and raised in America

The freedom to think, the right to speak

But for whom?

We don't have to like it or take it to our hearts

But there'd be nothing left to say

If we never looked to seek anothers view

 

They took a land so one did not need to conform

Perhaps a calm before the storm

 

You can't hear the silence of freedom

 

It seems to me they make a new rule everyday

With a million exceptions and concessions, but not for you

Just shut your hole!

So what's it to you if we aren't hurting anyone

Tell me, where's the use for justice

When it never seems to find an ideal role?

 

They'll patronize you, tell you what you want to hear

Until there's no room left for your ears

 

To hear the silence of freedom

You can't hear the silence of freedom

 

There's nowhere else I'd rather live

To see life evolve and grow

There's so much more we need to give

But I love it - HERE IN AMERICA

 

LET'S BREAK THE SILENCE OF FREEDOM

YOU CAN'T HEAR THE SILENCE OF FREEDOM
