1   Freedom is the air we breathe,

     A voice that never has to grieve.

     It is the right to speak the truth we hold,

     And let our spirit be bold.

2   Freedom is a chance to be,

     To show the world the real “us.”

     No masks, No walls, No false disguise,

     Just honest hearts and open eyes of the people, we are and will be.

3   To have the courage to stand our ground,

     To speak what’s real, no fear around.

     To speak our thoughts with no regrets,

      And to find our voices in the moments set.

4    Freedom is walking without shame,

      Living without hiding our names.

      It’s lifting others when they fall,

      And daring to dream right past any wall.

5    It’s not just for one to feel, but for all to feel,

      The power of choice, the right to heal.

      Itś being able to march hand in hand through the storms,

      And finding peace beyond the normal.

6    To Me, Freedom is more than just a word,

      Every silent cry was finally heard.

      It’s waking up and knowing youŕe free,

      To live, To love, To simply be you.
