"This Freedom We Stand On"
By Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
I speak my mind and raise my voice
I walk this land, I make my choice
I live my truth without a chain
Because of those who took the pain
Verse 1B
They stood their ground, they paid the cost
For every line that can't be crossed
So I could dream and write my song
And say what's right and call out wrong
Pre-Chorus
It's not just words or flags we wave
It's all the lives they tried to save
Chorus
This freedom we stand on, it won't fade away
We live it, we breathe it, each and every day
It's more than a promise, more than a line
It's something we carry, your heart and mine
So raise up your voices, let them all hear
This freedom we stand on is why we're here
Verse 2A
A preacher speaks, a writer writes
A child can dream beneath the lights
No fear to run, no fear to stay
We get to choose our every day
Verse 2B
From quiet towns to city streets
From farmer's hands to judge's seats
No one can silence who we are
We're each a voice, we're each a star
Pre-Chorus
We carry hope in every hand
And draw our lines across this land
Chorus
This freedom we stand on, it won't fade away
We live it, we breathe it, each and every day
It's more than a promise, more than a line
It's something we carry, your heart and mine
So raise up your voices, let them all hear
This freedom we stand on is why we're here
Bridge
It's the fire that lives in the quietest heart
It's the power to speak, to finish, to start
It's the flag in the wind, the voice in the storm
The right to be different, the right to be born
Final Chorus
This freedom we stand on, it won't fade away
We live it, we breathe it, each and every day
It's more than a promise, more than a line
It's something we carry, your heart and mine
So raise up your voices, let them all hear
This freedom we stand on is why we're here
Outro
This freedom we stand on...
It lives in us here.
