Four Freedoms

Location

United States
I wish for America
I wish I wasn't here
I want the land of Freedom
Freedom from fear.
For the place in which I stand
Cannot compare;
I want the land of Freedom
Freedom from fear.
 
I wish for America
I wish for,at least
Freedom to speak
Freedom of speech.
For where I now am
I am forbidden to speak
I wish for Freedom
Freedom of speech.
 
I wish for America
I wish that a lot,
I wish for Freedom
Freedom from want
For here we are poor 
And there is much we have not.
I wish for Freedom
Freedom from want.
 
I wish for America
I wish for that place
For Freedom of religion
To celebrate my faith
For where I now worship
Is in a secret place
I wish for Freedom of religion
To celebrate my faith
 
My heart is in America 
My heart is not here.
I cry out for Freedoms
For which they don't care.
I am oppressed and broken,
In need of America's care.
I wish for America
I wish I was not here
