lyrics

Your Freedom

Words: Mary Molyneux
Music: Cornelius Eady

You Freedom has been made possible
By no text-book fairy-tale forefather
By no likeness molded on a coin
Not worth the bending over
To pick up off the street.

Your Freedom is a Boeing, flying
Your Freedom is a Chrysler, gliding
Your Freedom is a steel girder, bending
In a hurricane wind.

Your Freedom is on-going.
It is material, and moving
Like a sprit captured in a Lucite cube
It is a weight that oppresses
Nothing.

Your Freedom works overtime
It’s forever on the phone
It’s forever traveling in a briefcase
Overflowing with reports of Good Will.

Your Freedom never sleeps.
It cat-naps in a foreign city
Where it dreams
Only of you.
