So many of our rights and freedoms seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate. We are becoming more polarized than I can ever remember - there is no more middle ground.
WHO HAS THE RIGHT
What if we let each other - be who we’re meant to be
What if we allow each individual - to be free
What if we allow each to speak - with their own voice
What if we let people - make their own life choice
When will we modify - ancient beliefs and traditions
When will we stop placing - extreme restrictions
When will we recognize - embrace our diversity
When will we accept each other - with love and dignity
Where’s ‘life and liberty - pursuit of happiness’ found
Where’s that peace and harmony - forever free and unbound
Where’s ‘we’re all created equal’ - it remains an illusion
Where’s ‘justice for all’ - has been lost in confusion
Why must some people seek - refuge from intimidation
Why must they face - hateful discrimination
Why must people - suppress who they are inside
Why must others feel - there’s a need to decide
Who has the right to say - who we love or who we should be
Who has the right to say - what others should believe
Who has the right to deny - others their own free will
Who has the right? - NOT gold - NOT power - NOT those on the hill
WHO HAS THE RIGHT - EACH ONE OF US
WHO HAS THE RIGHT - CLAIM IT WE MUST
