Freedom, Oh Freedom

From the Album I Will Be Your Friend: Songs & Activities for Young Peacemakers and the single Freedom, Oh Freedom

I want to grow
Up to be old
To be the dream I dream
I want to teach
I want to reach
Up to be all I can be

Freedom, oh freedom
Can you imagine that

To make a job
Not take a job
To love the work you do
Happiness
Togetherness
With love from me to you

Freedom, oh freedom
Can you imagine that

To lift up your voice
To shout and sing
Until earth and heaven rings
With harmony
With liberty
From sea to shining sea

Freedom, oh freedom
Can you imagine that

Take pride in yourself
Believe in yourself
Take pride in yourself
You’ve got to have faith

Freedom, oh freedom
Can you imagine that
