The Land of the Free
The land of the free
Yet bound by the chains
That hold us in place
As we're left in the rains
As we're watched like a hawk
With no privacy
And are restrained
From what we could be
Equality is
What we strive for
Yet we lock other up
Behind a cell door
Because they are different
We dont understand
We don't even try
To lend them a hand
Of color and sex
Its still that they hate
They show little love
And discriminate
Whatever happened
To the land of the free
Whatever happened
To what they could be
Yet bound by the chains
That hold us in place
As we're left in the rains
As we're watched like a hawk
With no privacy
And are restrained
From what we could be
Equality is
What we strive for
Yet we lock other up
Behind a cell door
Because they are different
We dont understand
We don't even try
To lend them a hand
Of color and sex
Its still that they hate
They show little love
And discriminate
Whatever happened
To the land of the free
Whatever happened
To what they could be

I liked it.
Such a strong ideal crowded my the individuals, and many of them.
