STRIPPED OF FREEDOM

KENNETH HARRINGTON

LIKE A BIRD
IN A TREE
WE WERE BORN
TO BE FREE

LIKE THE QUESTIONS
IN A  PARENTS  MIND
WHEN THEY  HEAR FROM THE WAR THAT
THEIR CHILD IS DEAD OR DYING

THEY WONDER WHY
THEIR  FREEDOM HAS BEEN STRIPPED AWAY

LIKE A PARENT
WHO'S DONE ALL THAT THEY CAN
TO TEACH THEIR CHILD THE WAYS OF LIFE
AND ALL ABOUT GODS PLAN

THEY  WONDER WHY
THEIR IN DISMAY

NOW THEIR LITTLE CHILDS FREEDOM
HAS BEEN STRIPPED  AWAY

WHAT ! WILL THEY  DO
THEIR SO LONELY AND BLUE
THEIR  FREEDOM
 HAS BEEN STRIPPED AWAY

 THEY SIT IN THE DARK
OF A COLD EMPTY ROOM
AND THEY CRY OUT
 BEFORE THEY START TO PRAY

 FREEDOM!  FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!   FREEDOM !
FREEDOM!   FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!   FREEDOM! 

HOW CAN THEY GO ON
THEIR SO ALL ALONE
THEIR FREEDOM HAS BEEN STRIPPED AWAY

THEY LIVED THEIR LIVES
FOR THE FREEDOM OF THEIR CHILD
THEN THEY WHISPER
AS THEY START TO FADE

FREEDOM !    FREEDOM!
             
  DEDICATED TO  PARENTS

 ALL OVER THE WORLD.
