Where is our freedom?

FREEDOM IN MY MIND

Standup to be counted
Upload trust and download love
Air is full of songs
But no one is there to sing with
Life isn´t casual
You are the chance

Freedom is in my mind
Ain´t got dues with time, baby
Ain´t got dues with time!

Happiness is a state of mind
Freedom is a goal of life
And people come and go
Just scrolling roles with no goals
The cost of freedom is in the air
Let's try to sing a song together
Dices rolling and we keep prowling
But don´t forget to give a smile!

Freedom is in my mind
Ain´t got dues with time, baby
Ain´t got dues with time!

Freedom is in our minds 
We ain´t got dues with time
No dues with time!
No dues with time!
We´re free
We got freedom in our mind!

Happiness is a state of mind
Freedom is a goal to live
So standup to be counted!
Upload trust and download love!
The cost of freedom is in the air
So let's sing this song together
While dices roll and we prowl again

Freedom is in mind minds
We ain´t got dues with time, baby
No dues with time, no dues with time, no dues with time 
We are free !
