"But Free"

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo, 2022

I seem to be one of many--
Many who seek to be found;
Not to live bound, BUT FREE.

I want to be with my brothers--
Others who follow their stars;
Not under czars, BUT FREE.

Remember days when we walked in the light
We simply took it all in stride.
And now we've lost the most basic of rights--
Just to live our lives.

I can't forget how it felt to be me;
I planned to follow all my dreams.
But now they've taken the light from the sun--
And that's just how it seems.

I want to be one of many,
Many who seek to be free.

Only a while and the many will rise,
And the morning will bring the sunshine.

I want to be one of many--
Many who seek 
Only to live, BUT FREE.
