Freedom

freedom is more than just a word

2. If I ever wrote my Ode to
Freedom
A
being
privileged and spoilt for choice,
A7 - Em
then
I fear that you would be suspicious
A D
of
the cause to which I'd lend my voice.
D F# Bm
It's elusive and it's hard to
hold, it's a fleeting thing,
G D A
D
that's
why there is no Ode to Freedom truly worth remembering.

D A D
I wish someone would write an
Ode to Freedom that we all could sing.
