"Freedom Speaks" lyrics

It's hard to believe what's going down
But I ain't surprised
History will come back around
Through the fall and the rise
Darkness always hangs around
Preying on the weak
They will kill to keep me down
They don't want me to speak

So let me remind you
Just what's at stake
Apathy will blind you
Until it's way too late
So don't take me for granted
I'm strong in the light
Don't take me for granted
Stand up and fight

Some of you were born with me
In the blood of the sacrificed
They fought to set you free
And for that, they paid the price
The seeds of unrest
Have been sown and planted
Things are being said
And so much is slanted

So let me remind you
Just what's at stake
Apathy will blind you
Until it's too late
Don't take me for granted
I'm strong in the light
Don't take me for granted
Stand up and fight

There are those who will tell you
That you are safe and free
Until you speak against the way
They want things to be
They plan on your silence
Ignorance and vagary
While the streets fill with violence
Chaos and tragedy

So let me remind you
Just what's at stake
Apathy will blind you
Until it's too late
So don't take me for granted
I'm strong in the light
Don't take me for granted
Stand up and fight

My name is freedom
My name is freedom
My name is freedom
My name is freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
