“FREEDOM”


It’s a bad day in our USA
All the ones been lost
For all the time we’ve won
We are brothers and sisters
And we stand as one
And I say Freedom
Oh Freedom that’s what we stand for
What we’re standing for
Oh freedom
That’s what we want
And no one gonna take that away
But the good Lord USA
Oh freedom
Freedom
Oh Freedom
Uh-Huh Freedom
Brothers in arms
Freedom
Every single one of you loves freedom
And when you look at that red white and blue
For I’ve found before
There’s people fighting
Those who try take them away
There’s tears in our eyes
But we might as well be glad
I say freedom
Freedom
It’s worth fighting for
What we’re standing for
From the sea to the shore
Freedom is sure on
Freedom is sure
And united we stand
Divided we fall
But the USA is freedom and we will all prevail
Living
Oh Freedom
Freedom
Oh freedom
In God we trust
That’s what we want
Oh freedom
Freedom
Freedom
I love freedom
Freedom
Freedom
1234
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
I say freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Every single one of us
Freedom
Oh freedom
We love freedom
Freedom
Living free
Oh Freedom
Standing night and day
Freedom
Free

Audrey Lee Randall – Kelly wrote the basic lyric and guitar riff at home, exactly one week after September 11, 2001.  The song was performed in one take with less than 30 seconds of preparation
in front of an audience at the Prodigal Son coffee house, Wednesday, September 19, 2001.  Bruce Springsteen perhaps was influenced by the harmonica solo (after the number count) for similarity
is heard in his 2005 Grammy nominated song “Devils And Dust”.

PRELUDE TO SEPTEMBER 11, 2001:

“LEONDA (I’M COMING HOME)”


I’m coming home
I’ve been here before
It’s been a long, long road
Travelled many times, times
Been walking miles trying to find my lady
I love her so, dearly so
She got my heart, keeps the child in me
My guiding light, she set, sets me free
I’m coming home today
Travelling that walk
Happy as I could ever be
I thank you with all my heart
Just where to begin
I know that love will never depart
These many oceans are filled with tears
Cry for centuries happiness and fear”
I think it’s time I bring up my anchor
Paddle on to a distant shore
Somehow someway I’ll make it home
What my love will say I’m countin’ on
So many times I cross the Lords path
I might have forgiveness just from where I be
Now I don’t know about you
You had your time, you made it through
Somehow someway you might may find
Something beyond, that love be so blind
May the sand flow through your fingers
And when that crow flies it’ll guide you on
Somehow someway
I am coming home again
I’m coming home again
To my love, my one true friend
I’ll make you happy
I know I’ll make you cry
I’ll give you my love all the time
When we’re alone with the spirits who listen and talk
We may decide on our eternal walk
Someday our child, one or two
Will know at least your love
And what I’ll put you through
Under our roof, massive or small
With a fire burning
And as our child crawls
We’ll sing together, country and blues
You lead the way
I’ll try my best to satisfy you
Woman Leonda
I’m coming home, to you
