Free Man - Ray Lambiase
Some men build their lives on comfort and wealth
Fruit from the labors of somebody else
Blindfolding justice to serve their own ends
Breaking the Jaws they can't bend
[Chorus]
We are free men in prisons of stone
Our keepers live locked in their fear
They will see when their lives disappear
That they are our prisoners and we are free men
Both hands broken, he Jay on the ground
His voice filling prisons with hope the world 'round
And then, only after his singing was stilled
Would they know how his songs could never be killed
Men and women of vision and peace
Killed without questions, their killers released
But their dreams and purpose have always survived
To prove where the greater strength lies
