Freedom -- Paul McCartney

This is my right, a right given by god  To live a free life, to live in freedom
We talkin’ about freedom  Talkin’ bout  freedom  I will fight, for the right  To live in freedom

Anyone, who wants to take it away  Will have to answer, cause this is my right
We talkin’ about freedom Talkin’ bout freedom
I will fight, for the right  To live in freedom, ah yeah, comon now...
You talkin’ about freedom  Were talkin’ bout freedom
I will fight, for the right  To live in freedom

Everybody talkin’ bout freedom  Talkin’ bout freedom
I will fight, for the right  To live in free----------dom                                  (sing365)

"Freedom" is a song written and recorded by Paul McCartney in response to the 

McCartney was in New York City at the time of the attacks, and actually witnessed the destruction while sitting in a plane, which was parked on the tarmac at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. McCartney, who said the attacks affected him emotionally, wrote the song the day after the attack. In the song, the narrator declares freedom to be a "right given by God" that he will "fight for." The lyrics were thus in seeming contradiction with the antiwar sentiment associated with McCartney's former act, The Beatles. But at The Concert for New York Citywhere he first played the song live, McCartney explained to the crowd, "It's about freedom. That's one thing these people don't understand. That's worth fighting for." In a later interview McCartney commented, "to me it's a "We Shall Overcome".                (wikipedia)
