I carry the bricks
for my grandfather’s debt
they say you work hard, you pay
what you owe
my family hasn’t yet
our blood in the dust
our blood is on their hands
it’s impossible to erase what a kid
can’t comprehend
i wish that i could feel freedom
they say that no one can hear you
you are a fool to pray
your god isn’t listening
no help is on the way
i heard a bird on a wire singing sweet
if god loves that sparrow
he will send me freedom
i’m free from fear of violence
free within and free without
freedom from all borders
freedom from all doubt
freedom growing wild
gracefully and green
there’s freedom for you
is there freedom for me?
now when i open my eyes
somedays i still can’t believe
there are no chains on my doors
no guns are pointed at me
i have no one to answer to
no customers to please
i help those who are still enslaved
that’s how i give freedom
