So, while this song means a lot to me, I think of my friends who had their freedom stolen from then and the others out there who, even in America, are no where near free. And even if they can escape, they are plagued and face peril if found.
It breaks my heart to know that something I take so for granted is something others may not ever experience.
I can't imagine facing such degredation and threat to my life every minute day after day. I've been blessed beyond messure.
I am free. I know what freedom is.
That is such an amazing thing that I should remind myself of more often.
