is the key

Lady Liberty - has broken the chains.

Strength of numbers is the Key

to breaking free,

they have the locks

do you have the keys

When will you learn

it’s time to pay the piper

for the things you’ve said and done

your an addict – and damn is it obvious

you fried your own brains

now your dead in the head,

soon they’ll be digging a grave

YOURS

freedom – I have it

I have the freedom to express my self

I have the right to PROTEST

One man -one voice -

one MOVEMENT

the civil right movement

Samuel Clemmons

He could make em accountable

Malcom X

He could make a whole generation dream

Abraham Lincoln

A leader of a revolution – an ANTI-SLAVERY ONE

Micheal Jackson

Said enough is enough

you make me wanna scream

they all proved that strength of numbers

is the key, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCj5rSoXf0k )

it is the key to breaking free.

Say it – today

they might have the locks

and your silence they use as a weapon

but if you have a voice

you have the key.

The key to breaking free

The key to finding liberty

the key to find a better path

for you & me. (https://youtu.be/TyYhd0H9bLI )

It’s in your hands

it’s up to you -

to throw off the yoke of oppression

the shackles of the mind,

It’s in your hands

The freedom that you want

It’s in your hands

if you speak up

and say it loud

the time has come (https://youtu.be/d4sZBgybn4k )

Don’t be too proud to rise up off your knees

and stand up to your oppressors,

it’s time to break the chain

It starts with one link,

Breaking, under pressure

One link is all it takes – to break the chain

It starts with one voice,

one voice to declare -

Enough is enough,

give me liberty or give me death,

because I would die than spend another day in chains

All is take is one step

one step on the future path

to a new a better life,

will you to take that step

Let them know how you feel

You'll see - what freedom looks like

when you chose to get up off your knees

god helps those who help themselves

means why pray for divine intervention

why pray for something - you can achieve yourself

if you just took the time - to make one change,

and say I have the power to make a change,

And if you stumble

If you fall,

don’t be to proud to keep on moving forward

even if you have to crawl.

All it takes is one man,

to find his voice,

to find the words, to make you understand,

one voice that speaks for the many

One man who has only one thing to say.

That we’re to going to take it any more

Say it now - even if you can't find the words

to express how you feel

say it - the old fashion way - with your actions

As the old saying goes

you say it best when you say nothing at all

and let your actions do all the talking

Now the time has come

It’s in your hands

The freedom that you want

Is in your hands

you have the power

to shape a new world order

for our children’s future destiny

I have a new order for - TRUE FAITH do you have it

in power to the people

its time to make a stand and say it

any way you can

we’re sick of songs of war

and songs of hate,

There will be sad songs

that make you wanna cry

and I’m sick of songs about people

that make you wanna curl up and die.

I have a bitter desire - to hear you say it

and say its time to change the tune.

I wanna hear you singing songs of love

I wanna hear you singing songs of joy

i wanna hear you sing about how you can do anything

I wanna hear you sing songs about the power of love

and it's a glorious thing,

it can make people dance,

it can make people sing,

it can make feel on top of the world

its time to say it - and say it loud

say it proud

and say it with your actions

say you, say me

say it together -

its time to prove there is power in love,

there is power in truth

and there is power in honesty -

and set yourselves free.
