To find their personal freedom
is everyone's natural quest
And until they have found it
Their minds can never rest
They may not fully understand
Or reasons they can never give
But they must search to find it
For without it, they cannot live
A child will leave his mother
Or flee from their native land
And if you try to stop them
They will fight you all they can
They will climb every mountain
And follow the summer breeze
They may travel a winding road
Or sail the lonesome seas
We cannot help them find it
Each child must search alone
Be it in a far off country
or Fourteen blocks from home
Not everyone will find it
Or know when it arrives
Nor will they always keep it
For the rest of their lives
Others will have learned
Of the secret they possess
The freedom is within them
If they can pass the test
To know it does not matter
Where in the world you be
It's the person you are with
That will help set you free
For Caring, Sharing, Loving
And a future bright to be
This bring peace of mind
Which is truly being free!
