If I could buy my freedom
Would it lend me wings?
Wings to fly like the birds
Roam the blue sky
And, plant a kiss on her cheeks
Would it let me
Do a tango with the sky in my arms
Dance through the moon and stars
All night long
Would it let me
Live in the castles the clouds build in the sky
Sail with them all day long
And, fly to the moon when night arrives
Would it let me
Raise my voice, fearless and carefree
Like lightning cracking the sky open
Against injustice and tyranny
Would it let me
Fight the battle of freedom
The oppressed leading me
Would it give me courage
To paint pictures of their silent agony
Would it let me
Look in the mirror where I could see ME
And not the ugly distorted caricature
You painted of me
Would, would and would
I feel like drowning in a sea of \'woulds\' around me
The only would I choose to follow
Would I be a better man, if I were to be free?
