I wasn't there August twenty eighth, nineteen sixty three
When a free man marched up Lincolns stairs, and declared I have a dream
But I still hear that free mans thoughts on the way things ought to be
Still blowing in the winds of a storm we caused on the day we shot the peace
The sun was out when the lightning flashed
Not a cloud in sight when you heard the crack
One shot from a thirty aught
Caught by an unarmed man
And I saw him die in the news today
Every black man shot is a white man slain
Blood for blood
Is the unspoken law of the land
But blood stains red
No matter what the color of man
I wasn't there May thirty first nineteen sixty nine
When a free man laid in bed eight days to show that peace was worth his time
But I still hear that free mans thoughts on the way things ought to be
He gave peace a chance every chance he got until the day we shot the peace
Forty one years since yesterday
Only found peace when he passed away
Five shots from a thirty eight
Weighing down a gun mans hand
And I saw him die in the news today
Vietnam survived under other names
Fight for peace
Is the unspoken law of the land
But peace cant fight
No matter what the cause of man
Well I was born September twenty sixth nineteen eighty six
And I watched as a free mans world went cold, in a storm we couldn't fix
But I still speak my free mans thoughts on the way things ought to be
Because my words ring louder than the guns we brought on the day we shot the peace
Twenty damn years since the planes came down
Not free mans thought, not a free mans sound
Trading freedom for our fear
In the actions of an unknown man
You might see me die in the news today
Every free mans thought is a free mans grave
Be quiet or be killed
Is the unspoken law of the land
But free men get louder
When freedom's slipping through their hands
Free men get louder
When freedom's slipping through their hands
