Cry Freedom!














It is said that we were created in God's own image
Sometimes, it seems so hard to believe
Other times a warrior leads us in the scrimmage
Challenging all to overcome and achieve

WE have a dream undying and undaunted
Our hearts and minds must remain resolute
There is still a call to which must be responded
A mission still left that none can refute

My brothers and sister still live full of terror
Their children still hunger and cry in the street
The hero you seek stares back in the mirror
This is not the time to shrink back nor sound a retreat

Lift up your head, your heart and your voice
Shout it loud until Kingdom Come
Now's the time, raise the standard, there's no other choice
Cry Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! FREEDOM!


Dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) and to men and women everywhere who still struggle to live free.
