Freedom

They took our homes,
I let them because I was too weak.
They took our freedom.
I let them because I could not speak.
All of us were taken away. Man made us pray.
If we fought back we’d be beat.
I let them make a fool of me,
They had chains on my feet.
The glass drops, a life has fallen,
The water flows, we move on.
The water stops, our hope is lost,
The glass breaks and a savior is drawn.
They came without a warning.
I let them take me, so they could set us free.
Rid of this place where we were put on the bottom.
My hope I can now see.
Nowadays, we mean something in this world.
Even though we are women, we are pure all the same.
This journey we have been through still lives on.
A journey that ends with victory and a beautiful name.
Freedom.
