About Freedom

​

I wonder how many times it has been tasted

I wonder how many times it has been wasted

 

I wonder if always it blooms where it’s planted

I wonder how often it’s taken for granted

​

I wonder how often it’s dreamed of and sought for

I wonder how many have died as it’s fought for

​

I wonder the price, for which it was  bought

I wonder why free people live like they’re not

​

I wonder how many folks have it and doubt it

Or how many songs have been written about it

​

I wonder how many died to it, aspiring

I wonder how many, right now, it’s inspiring

​

I wonder how much we’d be willing to pay

If ever our freedom was taken away

​

I wonder how often I thank The Divine

For the great gift of freedom, that He has made mine
