Peter Yarrow - Don't Ever Take Away My Freedom lyrics

Don't ever take away my freedom, don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days... One of these days I always thought that I'd see in my own lifetime An end to poverty, injustice and war But now I've learned that that job will take a long, long time So there's one thing that must endure Don't ever take away my freedom, don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days... One of these days When I am old and thinking over the whole life that I've led If there's one final wish left to me I will pray that the children, who are yet to be born, I will pray that they will always live free Don't ever take away my freedom, don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days... One of these days There is a time for the singing and the sunshine There is a time for the thunder and the rain There is a time for the changing of the seasons my friend But there is one thing we must never change Don't ever take away my freedom, don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days... One of these days
