When We Were Free
Remember? Or was it a dream?
Was there a time when we were free When it was safe to be you and me to laugh and cheer without any fear, and be who we were born to be.
Was there a time when we were free When it was safe to be you and me to do our art straight from the heart And make our mark on history.
Was there a time when we were free When it was safe to be you and me love who we love fly like a dove and behold life’s magical mystery.
