i will be free
by the stars ill share this hope
and by the moon this mystery
by the sun ill share my eyes
so i can see
i will be free
by this land ill give my flesh
and by this flag ill shed my blood
by this rock ill place my trust
so i can feel
i will be free
by this bomb ill send my love
by this gun ill send my peace
by this war ill send by hand
so we can be
free
i will be free
by this world ill send my mind
by this fear ill send stead
by this earth i will shine
so we can see
i will be free
by this web ill send the truth
by this maze ill lead the way
by this task ill break the fall
so we can say
we will be free
