Freedom

In a way, freedom would be a reward
Reward that should be a right
Why can't I be an adult just yet?
Why can't I be a human until I'm an adult?
Why can't I be... free?

Free of algebra
Free of geometry
Free of pesky rules
Free of heartache
Free

I guess maybe it's too much to ask
Too much to ask for a little control
Too much

Maybe I'll grow up
Maybe I'll be a writer
Maybe I'll be a lawyer
Maybe I'll end up like my mom says
And simply be a prostitute

I never want to be told I'm no better
No better than a prostitute
No better than a child
No better than an animal
No better

Rewards that are rights
Rights that are stripped
Right to my personal property
Right to be myself
Right to see things the way I see it

What a wonderful Idea
Idea that won't happen soon
Idea that freedom should belong to everyone

Everyone
Everyone
everyone
