Freedom

I am the banner planted on the hill,
Twisting and flapping in the breeze.

I am the pale bird following the ship,
Over blue waves and swelling seas.

I am rain falling on the growing corn,
The music that makes people dance.

I am the open book, the tree in leaf, 
The honesty of pure romance.

I am a star that shines in velvet night,
A mystery preserved alone. 

Your world is as it is, no more, no less,
You know my name - but seek your own.

Preserve integrity and Freedom’s rules,
Keep them from cradle to the grave:

Value humanity and nature - above all,
Call no man master, no man slave.
