Let Me Be Free
Location
Let Me be free to make a friend without worrying about their color
So I won’t offend
Let Me be free to go to the party and not be pressed
For being the girl wearing the best dress
Let me be free to gain knowledge all the while
Staying in the passing percentile
Without being racially profiled
Let Me be free
Let Me be free to live in your nice neighborhoods with the white picket fences
And the nicely mowed lawns without being feared and/or
Racially frowned upon
Let Me be free to make my mark on this nation
And stand tall and proud
Without Prejudice or racial discrimination
Let Me be free.
Your blood is red as is mine.
We are both equal-is that such a crime?
I breathe in liberty
Just as all of us do,
Let Me be free in my country,
Because just like you
I bleed red, white, and blue.
