(Dedicated to all those seeking freedom)
By: Ranbir Singh Sekhon – a Vietnam Veteran, US Army
Liberation, liberation, I do pray
Liberty, liberty, come my way
You are fountain of hope, beacon of ray
In your absence there is no hope to live or play
Without you terror reign and oppression prevails
Your path is of obstacles and hard to pace
Your price is too steep, only the brave can pay
Liberation, liberation, I do pray
Liberty, liberty, come my way
agsadgsag
Liberty without you there is sorrow
Mothers sob, as sons are whisked away
Helpless, they can only pray
Without you there is darkness
Only glow from pyre of those, whisked away
Our minds are numbed, tongues locked
We cannot speak or wish to say
Is this not slavery, what would you say?
Liberty you are bloodthirsty, listen to what people say
Is this the price for freedom must we pay?
Liberation, liberation, I do pray
Liberty, Liberty, come my way

Liberty the brave will claim you,
Bring you home to stay
With you shall come freedom
The oppressor chased away
Darkness will fade and sorrow will be gone
Hope will then throne the foundation
The sacrifice the brave have made
Prayers will be there, Bells shall than ring
Thanking those who brought this day
Festive winds will blow
Singing the ballads of the brave
Those gone in pursuit of freedom
Will be enshrined forever here to stay
Liberty at last there will be tomorrow
For the children to grow and play
Liberation, liberation, I do pray
Liberty, Liberty, come my way
