Freedom of speech
Freedom to say
Freedom to think
This is my lucky day
Freedom of thought
Freedom of dreams
Freedom to believe
That we all can be kings
Freedom is yours
Freedom is mine
Freedom of speech
So I can write down these lines
If you and I agree
Hold out your hand to me
We will share our freedoms
With our friends and family
Freedom of speech
Freedom to say
Freedom to think
This is my lucky day
Freedom of thought
Freedom of dreams
Freedom to believe
That we all can be kings
We can take our thoughts
So many ways
If your thoughts are different
Well, I think that's okay
We should all try
To keep the Golden Rule
And cherish our freedom
At home and in our schools
Freedom of speech
Freedom to say
Freedom to think
This is my lucky day
Freedom of thought
Freedom of dreams
Freedom to believe
That we all can be kings
All can be kings
