Running To My Freedom
Writers: johnny vastano & tom snow
You should have been there when I gave the news
I know you would have been surprised to see
The smoke and the fire that was comin out of me
Now that Ive finally shaken you loose
And I have cut the chains that held me back
Feelin more and more like a train rolling down the track
Running to my freedom
I aint never gonna give it back
Me and my freedom, from now on
One of these days its gonna happen to you
Youre gonna find yourself in love so deep
That you would give up anything for that love to keep
Then sooner or later it will break down on you
And when you finally feel all the hurt inside
You will understand the reason why I cried
Running to my freedom
I aint never gonna give it back
Me and my freedom, from now on
And why I took my freedom
I aint never gonna give it back
Me and my freedom, from now on
Running to my freedom
I aint never gonna give it back
Me and my freedom, from now on
Now that Ive finally shaken you loose
And I have cut the chains that held me back
Feelin more and more like a train rolling down the track
Running to my freedom
I aint never gonna give it back
Me and my freedom, from now on

Freedom
We the people of the United States
In order to form a more perfect union
Stop pretending that you've never been bad
You're never wrong and you've never been dirty
You're such a saint, that ain't the way we see you
You want to rule us with an iron hand
You change the lyrics and become Big Brother
This ain't Russia, you ain't my Dad or Mother
(They never knew anyway)
'Cuz I never walk away from what I know is right
But I'm gonna turn my back on you
Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom-ring
You're playing God from your ivory tower
Back off preacher, I don't care if it's Sunday
I ain't no angel, but I never felt better
We're a make-up metal degeneration
We're not as stupid as you want to make us
You better leave us man
'Cuz you sure can't take us
Nobody better tell you how to live your life
You gotta do it on your own
Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom-ring
Cuz I never walk away from what I know is right
But I'm gonna turn my back on you
Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell

Freedom, Don't Give It All Away
The media bombards, the shelter of our homes,
the crisis deepens, the worst we've ever known,
the bankers screw us over, they really have no shame,
they've done it once, now they're doing it again.
And we all know, the politicians are on the take,
but why is religion the cause, of so much hate?
a corrupt president, again fills his boots,
more children will die, as he robs and he loots.
Freedom, don't give it all away,
freedom, freedom, come what may,
freedom, a basic human right,
freedom, we can't give up tonight.
If you don't defend democracy, it won't defend you,
if you tolerate injustice, then you could be next,
no room to be complacent, they will exploit that too,
the power hungry, and fanatical religious sects.
A war is declared, once again in my name,
another world leader, wants his moment of fame,
not for the oil he says, oh give me a break!
tell us the truth for once, for pity's sake!
freedom, don't give it all away,
freedom, it's all gonna be ok,
freedom, is still within our sights,
freedom, free from fear and strife.
who's gonna pay for, reckless irresponsibility?
the government, the fat cats, or you and me?
you have to be lied to, to know the value of truth,
keep extremism at bay, with ballot and voting booth.
freedom, don't give it all away,
freedom, express yourself today,
freedom, everyone has the right,
freedom, let's all be free tonight.

Feelin
When you give whats in your heart, to the one you love
You want them to give their love back to you
When every kiss and every smile mean the world to you
Then youve got it bad
Dont need a cure for what youre going through
This feelin inside you cant let it hide
Feelin, never stop that feelin
When your love is true
Feelin, never stop that feelin
There aint nothin you can do now
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
You feel it through and through, honey
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
cause there aint nothin you can do now, boy
When every look and every touch makes you come undone
And you cant believe this feelin is real
When the sound of someones name gives you butterflies
Dont wonder why cause you can be sure
That youre in love
This feelin inside you cant let it hide
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
When your love is true
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
There aint nothing you can do now
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
You feel it through and through, honey
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
cause there aint nothin you can do now, boy
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
When your love is true
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
There aint nothing you can do now
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
You feel it through and through, honey
Feelin, never gonna stop that feelin
cause there aint nothin you can do now, boy
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo
Oo hoo hoo boy ooh ho hoo

Back In Pain
Fight for the right thing
Fight for yourself-no one should run your life
Believe in you- its just the best to do
Before youre giving up
Stay put and give yourself a chance to grow
Get tough and rough- defend yourself on time
Get coming back for more
You gotta push it through
Youre gonna make the truth come true
Back in pain- freedom is not free
Back in pain- freedom is not free
You see yourself so busy
Doing things people always telling you to do
No matter what- always on your own
Fight just for the right thing
Go all the way and never ever change it
Get coming back for more
You gotta push it through
Youre gonna make the truth come true
Back in pain- I wanna see your pride
Back in pain- freedom is not free
Back in pain- youre gonna win this fight
Back in pain- freedom is not free, yeah
Oh yeah, you cant do it on your own
I tell ya nothing, nothing new
You gotta see yourself as what you are
Blinded by light and lost- lost in the dark
Back in pain- I wanna see your pride
Back in pain- freedom is not free
Back in pain- youre gonna win this fight
Back in pain- freedom is not free, yeah
Back in pain- I wanna see your pride
Back in pain

Universal Freedom Is......
Freedom from hunger and freedom from pain
freedom from loss and so freedom from gain.
Freedom to give and freedom to share
freedom from want and that of despair.
Freedom to think and freedom to know
freedom to achieve and freedom to grow.
Freedom from bondage and freedom of liberation
freedom from ignorance and any unknown situation.
Freedom to come and freedom to leave
freedom to stay and freedom to conceive.
Freedom from struggle and freedom of ease
freedom to enjoy and the capacity to please.
Freedom from failure and freedom of success
freedom from denial and freedom of access.
Freedom from illusion and freedom of reality
freedom to become what we are in actuality.
Freedom to live and freedom to die
freedom to laugh and freedom to cry.
Freedom to speak and freedom to listen
freedom to act based on a wise decision.
Freedom from hate and freedom of love
freedom of below and freedom of above.
Freedom of the past and freedom of the present
freedom of the future and what it can represent.
Freedom from war and freedom of peace
freedom to begin and freedom to cease.
Freedom from sickness and freedom of health
freedom from poverty and mishandled wealth.
Freedom from wrong and freedom being right
freedom of the day and freedom of the night.
Freedom to choose and freedom to reject
freedom to imagine what there is to expect.
Freedom from lust and freedom from greed
freedom from anger and freedom from breed.
Freedom from jealousy and freedom from pride
freedom from within and freedom from outside.
Freedom of always not having anything to hide.
Freedom from space and also freedom from time
freedom from attachment and freedom from crime
Freedom to work and freedom to play
freedom to believe and freedom to pray.
Freedom to experience a rebirth someday.
Freedom from the body and freedom from the mind
freedom from the ego and freedom from being blind.
Freedom of transcendence being of the spiritual kind.
Universal freedom is eternal and infinite bliss
we should all therefore be able to realise this.

Freedom Lies
Freedom, theres more to your life so now[? ]
Old laws, man has made only blind.
Oh, give us freedom, a call to the brave and the strong,
To stand in the face of all wrong and show the way.
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.
Freedom to live out the dream in a song,
Give hope to the hearts of the young.
Oh, give us freedom to act out of love and not fear,
So all that is true will be clear.
Hear tomorrow, calling hold me, show me.
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.

Freedom Fighter
You cant control me tell me what to do
Chained in mediocrity so I can be like you
I am not a statue not part of a machine
Im sick and tired of the whole routine
Calculate your future, computerise your past
Instant replay if its gone too fast
Take away my freedom, take away my home
Im only human but it might now show
Im not made of stone
Im a freedom fighter I got something to say
Im a freedom fighter get out of my way
Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules
Tell me Im a man but you treat me like a fool
Its the same old story with a different name
You give us all a number and nothing changes
Out in the winter of a world upon its knees
Everyone is watching but no one sees
You cant take my freedom you know it is my right
If you try and stop me Im gonna fight
With all of my might
Im a freedom fighter and Im taking command
Im a freedom fighter and Im making a stand
Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed
Times running out for the things that I need
Im a freedom fighter I gotta take a stand
Im a freedom fighter, yeah thats what I am
Im a freedom fighter I cant take it no more
Im a freedom fighter no no more
Im a freedom fighter but Im not afraid
Im a freedom fighter get out of my way.

Extension 33
Living at the y, extension 33,
Nothing to care or to worry.
Once I was in love with a blind man,
But my auntie told me, dont do it, its not worth it.
Living at the y, 33 years,
No one to call or to write to.
Once I was in love with a married man,
But my instincts told me, dont tell him, itll kill you.
Im sad I didnt marry the blind man,
But whats a life with three blind children?
Im glad I never told the married man,
It saved my pride and freedom.
Living at the y, in 33 rooms,
Nowhere to visit or write to.
Once I was in love, it nearly killed me,
But now I have my pride and freedom.
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Dont You Throw That Mojo On Me
You go where you want to
Go out on the town
Expect to keep me waitin
With that law youre layin down
That aint right
Tonight Im breaking free
Aint gonna work no more
Dont you throw that mojo on me
You got some magic
Ill give you that
It just aint worth it
I aint going back
No more
Under your lock and your key
I know that look
Dont you throw that mojo on me
You aint gonna be my hangman
I aint gonna wear no noose
Well I got somethin here now baby
Ill be turnin loose
You aint the only one
I got some tricks up my sleeve
It might come back to haunt you
Dont you throw that mojo on me
Yeah, it might come back to haunt you
Dont you throw that mojo on me

Freedoms.
Freedom to write...
Freedom to swear.
Freedom of the right...
Here or there.
Freedom to vote...
To give your views in note.
Freedom to sing...
To wear a ring.
Freedom to talk...
About, most any thing.
Freedom to eat and drink...
Even free to not bathe, and maybe even unusually stink.
Freedom to think...
And form opinions.
Freedom to judge...
Even if someone thinks you wreak.

Freedom
You got my pride
Hanging outta my bed
You messin with my life
So I bought my lead
Even messin with my children
And youre screaming at my wife baby
Get off my back
If ya wanna get outta here alive
Freedom thats what I want now
Freedom thats what I need now
Freedom to live
Freedom so I can give
You got my heart
Speak electric water
You got my soul
Screamin and hollerin
You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
Well I dont know her now
Im tryin to slam it out of her hand
Freedom so I can live
Freedom so I can give
Freedom yeah!
Freedom thats what I need
You dont have to say that you love me
If you dont mean it you better believe
If you need me or you just wanna bleed me
Better stick in you dagger in someone else

Freedom's Finally Mine
I'm on a red dirt road winding up to a sky of blue
And I left the blacktop back about a mile or two
No more sittin' at home leave the T.V. and the telephone far behind
This life is killin' us all, back roads are lookin' mighty fine
Oh, and...
(Chorus)
Freedom's finally mine
I ain't takin' anymore
Yeah freedom's finally mine, It's finally mine
I ain't takin' anymore
Oh, freedom's finally mine
I'd like to throw out this cellular
And kick off these shop-shined shoes
Leave the kids at your mama's
And take off to Timbuktu
So give me two sets of mud-grip tracks
Leadin' off to way out back o' yonder
There's no mountain I can't climb
To satisfy this need of mine to wander
Oh, 'cause...
(Repeat Chorus)
There's no desert I can't cross
No river too wide
I can do what I want now
'Cause freedom's finally mine
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh freedom oh freedom It's finally mine, yeah it's mine
It's finally mine, yeah it's mine

Freedom Is For Children
I wrote the words of freedom,
Ive even sung the song.
But freedom is for children,
cause they dont understand whats wrong.
The children are so very lucky,
cause theyre not old enough to know.
Not old enough to realize,
But theyll find out as they grow.
The children are so very lucky,
But, on the other hand, whos gonna save the land?
The children are so very lucky,
But mans invention is gonna be the prevention of their life.
This song is nearly over,
And sos the world and the day.
Theres something missin,
But who will listen enough to do what it will take?
Freedom is for children. why cant it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why cant it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why cant it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why cant it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why cant it be for me?

Freedom is yours
Take a look at your life
Round it up from right to left
left to right
left I might
Never look back
Pull up your pride
attack at its head
bring up the fight
Fight for the freedom
Freedom is yours
If you choose to take it
Freedom is yours
Never doubt you'll make it
Freedom is yours
Freedom is yours
Suburban ghetto prisons
It's all the same
Living up to community visions
Like we're all the same
Change your name
Release the pain
Strike fear in your opponents and make them curse the day you came
The time is now to step forward and keep your balance
The moment to improve your talents
Freedom is yours
You have to remember freedom is yours
Dip in the pool you choose
You're not the first one to break loose
Remove the chains
Forget all you know about the don'ts and do's
Be insane
Remove the chains
Freedom is yours
Freedom is yours
You have to remember freedom is yours
Let em Fly
Let him fly - dixie chicks
Aint no talkin to this man
Aint no pretty other side
Aint no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
Im gonna let him fly - mmm
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved good-bye
You know the light has left his face
But you cant recall just where or why
So there was reallly nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said Im gonna let him fly
Oh yea
Theres no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are given
Its no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away - yeah
But you must always know
How long to stay and when to go
And there aint no talkin to this man
Hes been tryin to tell me so
It took a while to understand
The beauty of just letting go
cause it would take an acrobat n
I already tried all that
Im gonna let him fly - fly woah
Im gonna let him fly - fly
Im gonna let him fly - fly

I Wont Cry For You
So you lie awake and think about tomorrow,
And you try to justify the things youve done,
But theres no one here, to hear your tears falling,
When you turn around, you find out, that youre the lonely one.
And it feels like someones treading on your shadow,
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure,
And it feels like youre drowning, in your tears.
So I wont cry for you, no I aint gonna cry for you,
And I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you.
Aint gonna cry for you.
So you lie awake and think about the sorrow,
Does it really still the fears in your mind,
And you try to realise the things you wanted,
But you take it all for granted and now it makes you blind.
And it feels like someones treading on your shadow,
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure,
And it feels like youre drowning, in your tears.
So I aint gonna cry for you, no I aint gonna die for you,
And I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you.
Aint gonna cry
I aint gonna cry for you, I aint gonna cry.
So I aint gonna cry for you, no I aint gonna die for you,
No I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you,
Aint gonna cry, aint gonna cry for you no more,
Aint gonna die, I aint gonna die for no more,
Aint gonna lie, I aint gonna lie for no more,
Aint gonna cry, I aint gonna cry for you no more.

No One Can Love You More
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love (give you all my love)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
I used to be on my own
Every night, every day by myself
Feeling so far from home
How would I know I would go
Down the road that would lead me right into your arms
Destiny told me that you were the one
Stars fill the sky now I've finally found you
Chorus:
No one can love you more
No one can give it all
I'm gonna give you all my loving
No one can love you more
I'll give you my heart and soul
Feel it deep down inside
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love (give you all my love)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
I thought I was wasting time
Living in hope that I'd find a new love
Love can be so unkind
How could it be you and me took so long
To discover that dreams do come true
Everything's changed since the day I met you
The sun's gonna shine every time we're together
(Chorus 2x)
Yesterday has gone
And from this moment on you will see
This will be a forever lasting love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
(Chorus 2x)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
No one can love you more 3x

Not Gonna Give Into It

No me voy a rendir, no no
No me voy a rendir, no no
No me voy a rendir, no no
No me voy a rendir
Oh Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it no no
Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it
There are nights when the moon
Shines in my eyes and haunts my mind
And I cant sleep a wink
And I really dont want to think
There are times when I feel
If I sleep Ill die
But I dare not cry
And I run from my tears
And I fight them back with my fears
Oh Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it no no
Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it
And I feel so alone
For although you care
No one else can share
Its my own misery
In the end its all up to me
Oh Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it no no
Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it
And I watch you sleep soundly
So peacefully unaware
And your breath is soothing to me
And its good to know youre there
Then the morning comes
With its golden light
And I feel alright
And my heart beats again
But the night is not my friend
Oh Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it no no
Im not gonna give into it no
Im not gonna give into it

Twenty Four Seven
Some folks say theres a price on love
Watch your freedom go watch your freedom go
Just cant breathe when youre hand in glove
Watch your freedom go baby I dont know
But how can they mean it
How come they give it up
How long until they see
The modern laws of lovin dont apply to me
Chorus
Twenty four seven stay here with me
Twenty four seven throw away the key
Twenty four seven I dont wanna be free
You get by if you kiss and tell
Hear the people say hear the people say
Two strong hearts gotta share one cell
Hear the people say but it aint my way
How can they mean it how come they add it up
Ill give my heart and my soul if loving you is prison I dont need parol
Chorus
Twenty four seven stay here with me
Twenty four seven throw away the key
Twenty four seven I dont wanna be free free free
Twenty four seven around the clock
Twenty four seven I never want it to stop
Twenty four seven mmmm here with me
Im gonna count the time
That youre gonna be mine
Seven days a week
Twenty four hours aint enough for me
How can they mean it
How come they add it up
Im gonna give my heart and my soul if loving you is prison I dont need parol

Tribute Of The Freedom
I lie you for our freedom-
Giving salute to our ancestors
Not to make an ocean of blood
To escape from the cage of the slave-
To sing a song of my motherland-
Who says to you?
The day will not have a dawn
I lie you again for our freedom-
Every youth will sing altogether today
An anthem of the freedom
Put out the coffins of the youths.
Give me back our history
I lie you once more for our freedom.
The voice is rising up to the sky
Death or alive
We the one have give up the souls
It’s the tribute of the freedom.
