The Genie of Freedom

You cannot crop me
You cannot stop me
I am the mower, the blower
I am the tower, the power
I am the treasure, I am the pleasure
I am the people
Deep in the heart
Deep in the spirit
Touched by true freedom
Liberated within
You cannot crop me, you cannot stop me
 
The seeds of liberty are sown
The seeds of liberty are blown
With firm and fresh conviction
The broken chains without restriction
Go try to boot me
Go try to shoot me
Go crucify, rob and plunder
You'll never drown me under
For like the swells of ocean waves
The ranks of thousands strong and brave
Head high dare risk behind me
Will fight, clamor and unbind me
You cannot crop me, you cannot stop me
 
Freedom our cry, we are the people loud and clear
Freedom, freedom, more than our life is dear
Go shoot us, thousands, thousands more
Behind me, rows of thousands score
Ready to roar and risk and fight
For in our heart we know we are right
Down with the captors who did emasculate
Down with unjust edicts that dictate 
A new day and a new light we perceive
Once tasted freedom, now it is cast in spiritual belief
So mothers, daughters, all mankind
Our eyes are open, no more death and blind
Oh what glory, oh what joy
No more a slave, no more a ploy
You cannot crop us, you cannot stop us
 
No more a victim
No more the hunted
No voices silenced, no voices stunted
Our minds now cool, collected, clear
To celebrate this victory right now, right here
To know a new dawn breaks, ours a future grand
Free open life to live, perceive, understand
To know what's right or wrong, justly weighed
Without fear, our thoughts open to debate
To live in a world of open choice
Participant of free and open-minded voice
Be tolerant; our representatives elect
With dignity and self-respect
You cannot crop me, you cannot stop me
 
May every day be our liberation day!
May the sacred feeling never go away!
