Freedom
of Expression

D Bm Flashback to
the future, to
a time long
ago,
Em A when
I was
a baby needin' my
mama to hold.
D Bm Now
I'm your daddy holdin' you tight, seein' in
your eyes
Em A my
reflection and
desire to
insure you'll
have a life
D Bm of
freedom of expression. I
just hope you won't yell at me.
Em A But
if I'm doin' somethin' wrong, you'll
be the first to
see
D Bm my
hypocrisy and
my anger and
my will to
set you strait,
Em A although
sometimes that's pure ego and
even based on hate.
Chorus:
Bm A Em Oh,
let freedom reign
Bm A Em when
it's fightin' for what's sane
Bm A G 'cause
if hope isn't there, the dream will surely die
Em Bm D and
all he blood spilt is in vein. Was
it worth the try?
D Bm There
are people who frustrate and
I'm scared to speak my mind,
Em A but
then the feeling, it just hits me, then I'll spend all my time.
D Bm No
one pays for
my opinion and
I may even pay a price,
Em A but
there are others who are helpless and
those who gave their life.
D Bm Speaking
truth
to power and
standin' up for what's right.
Em A The
Constitution and Declaration of
Independence are worth the fight.
D Bm When
you grow into and adult, I'm
sure you'll see
some things
Em A that
are disturbing and unjust and
make you want to sing:
