From the recording SEEKING FREEDOM
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She held her baby in her arms so tight,
With everything she owned,
A photograph, a worn-out coat,
And dreams of finding a new home.
Behind her lay a life of fear and dismay,
Ahead, a distant light, a new day,
She whispered, “We are almost there honey,
Just hold on one more day.”
[Chorus]
Those seeking freedom, come from everywhere,
Carrying their hopes and dreams, and whispering a prayer.
Those seeking freedom, reaching for the light,
Looking for a place where they can live without a fight.
From every distant shore and land,
They dream of something more—
A chance to live, a chance to grow,
A place their children can truly call home,
Without fear of dying alone.
[Verse 2]
Different faces, different names,
Different stories brought them here,
Leaving everything they knew,
And walking through their fears.
Across the mountains, across the seas,
Across rivers and streams,
One dream keeps leading to—
A land where they can live in peace,
A land of democracy,
And a place where they belong.
[Chorus]
Those seeking freedom, come from everywhere,
Carrying their hopes and dreams, and whispering a prayer.
Those seeking freedom, reaching for the light,
Looking for a place where they can live without the fight.
From every distant shore and land,
They dream of something more—
A chance to live, a chance to grow,
A place their children can call home,
Without fear of dying alone.
[Bridge — Build]
Give me a road where I can walk,
A voice where I can talk,
A chance to stand up tall,
Where freedom still belongs to all.
Americans really don't know what they have.
[Final Chorus — Big / Uplifting]
WE'RE SEEKING FREEDOM! Reaching for the light,
Searching for tomorrow and the right to live our lives.
From every distant shore,
We've come to find something more—
A chance to love, a chance to grow,
A place our children can call home.
Those seeking freedom!
Those seeking freedom!
Let freedom's light keep shining on—
America... America... America!
