Songs about Freedom
"Freedom isn't free" - don't you agree? "Freedom" can be a word that betrays heavy jingoism in the militarized industrial world, or it can be a desperate cry in the darkness in the third world. Freedom is something you can't appreciate until its gone. Yes who is truly free? Quite a few citizens in all nations will assert that they have it the best, and yet they haven't traveled abroad so they have no basis for comparison.
Without defining it in the political sense, freedom can also mean a personal sense of liberty, free of the fetters of social cowardice, free to be oneself and express what one truly thinks no matter how much the Hivemind doesn't like it. Artists, by their very nature, care a great deal about this kind of freedom - because that's the only way to be creative. Or as the Prophet Frank Zappa (peace be upon his name) said: "Without deviation from the norm, progress is impossible."

Butterfly Fly Away Miley Cyrus
Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away
Flap your wings now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away
We've been waiting for this day
All along and knowing just what to do
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away -

Free as a Bird Beatles
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly, as a bird on wings -
Free Me Debbie Gibson
"Suddenly freedom calls
I've been searching for something I've yet to see
I've been thirsting for what you can't be
Now I need to be free" -

says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive. -

Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man
Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had -

None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
’cause none of them can stop the time. -
