One Step to Freedom

One step to freedom for me and my children
I see you like the legacy of triumphant warriors
like men buried who rise again
like courage allowing you to stand obstinately...unmoved
like birds that fly even in the worst of storms
do you hear the voice
do you know the laughter
there's no victory in giving up
know thyself and you will know freedom
