I feel the reach of freedom here
That calls so softly on my ear
Quite childlike in its innocence
To not accept, would make no sense.
Now freedom is a hopeful word
It means the best to us we’ve heard
And conjures up a special brand
Of lifestyle that comes close at hand
It treads on no one else’s space
Where each moves on at one’s own pace
A precious act protecting rights
Avoiding foolish, feckless frights !
