Lyrics:
[LAjhi: Freedom]

one person's freedom ends where another's begins
people like quote this text but just a few one knows the origin
yeah
there is something similar in the declaration of human rights
this is lovely but i reallyreally can't agree. why?
because i do interfere with the "freedom" of racists, homophobes, sexists, and all those faces who want to dominate
i don't give a shit about their freedoms protected by fortresses 4 meters high

who can say where the lies you can hear as news
interfere with your freedom to know the truth?
where's this unknown freedom when a small child doesn't know
it's not okay for mommy or daddy or both to beat or molest him or her at night?

how do the oppressed know that what's being done to them
is not the way things should be?

where's the boundary not defined by the money-man or personal interests?

is it within a person or outside of us?

could there be a way for the power to be in the hands
of people like the wonderful Julian Bond, Rosa Parks, Dalai Lama or Olaf Palme?

this freedom is in you and
everyone's freedom is in you.

so listen up my friend

this freedom is in you
your freedom is in you
her freedom is in you
his freedom is in you
their freedom is in you
this freedom is the only one
this freedom is all
what we can find.
