I opened my eyes As the sun came up It's the start of a brand new day I hear the sounds of the world Ringing in my ears Then the hope starts to drift away I look to the screen In my disbelief Another human right disappears Who do I blame what can I do As I watch the hope turn to fear When was the moment It all began to fade I don't remember Saying it's okay Don't try to take away my freedom Don't try to take away my voice No matter which side you're on, you're wrong 'Cause I don't have another choice Do I stand alone As I take to the streets I see others like me I'm not the only one I look for a smile from a friendly face But the war has just begun The devalued our dollar Devalued our lives Powered by lies and greed As the poor lie hungry and the rich die fat We've got to fill the need Now is the moment Our protest must be heard Their madness can't stop us Gotta make them hear these words Don't try to take away my freedom Don't try to take away my voice No matter which side you're on You're wrong 'Cause I don't have another choice Do I stand alone Don't try to take away my freedom Don't try to take away my voice No matter which side you're on You're wrong 'Cause I don't have another choice Do I stand alone
