Week 35: "Freedom" by Amos Lee

I posted the lyrics to Amos Lee's song called "Freedom" becasue I wanted to share it with you all.  I dig the song and its important meaning.  I am not sure if most of you know this but music impacts me a great deal and it is pivotal part of my daily life.  I almost constantly have music playing becasue I enjoy singing along and dancing.  Also, I identify with lyrics in songs helping me get through certain emotions and feelings.  When I'm happy I belt out a little "Here Comes the Sun" from the magical Beatles or any of the other classic oldies tunes.  When I'm working out I listen to face paced dance music to help motivate me.  When I dine I break out the Frank Sinatra or a little swing.  When I am angry I sometimes play Lady Gaga, Beyonce or Queen.  When I want to relax I play Enya, Debussy, Mozart or Bach.  And for most other emotions I have specific songs that I enjoy listening to.  Anyways enough about me, here are the lyrics...enjoy :)  

"Freedom"

Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it

Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah

Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
