The Path Up Freedom’s Road
© 2022 Don Digirolamo
[Intro] [| C | Em | C | D |]
[Verse]
Ban some [Am] classics from the [Em] library
They’re not [Am] relevant to [G] day
My [C] kids don’t need that [Em] history
They ask [C] questions any [D] way
[Verse]
Give the [Am] workers some appealing [Em] choices
Even if [Am] they’re based on a [G] lie
If we’re [C] clever enough they won’t [Em] figure it out
It’s [C] certainly seems worth a [D] try [Em Am D]
[Chorus]
Since we’re all [C] connected let’s learn what [G] matters
It’s time to share [C] ideas and the [G] load
Let’s not [C] repeat our worst [Em] mistakes again
Let’s walk the [C] path, [D] up freedom’s [G] road
[Verse]
Worker [Am] bees don’t need the whole [Em] story
Give them a [Am] job to do, and point the [G] way
If they [C] complain find a way to [Em] ignore them
If they don’t fall in [C] line make them go [D] away
[Verse]
If [Am] we can't calmly talk about [Em] freedom
What it [Am] is and what it’s [G] not
We're [C] creating a problem for [Em] everyone
And we may [C] lose the best of what we've [D] got [Em Am D]
[Chorus]
Since we’re all [C] connected let’s learn what [G] matters
It’s time to share [C] ideas and the [G] load
Let’s [C] not repeat our worst [Em] mistakes again
Let’s walk the [C] path, [D] up freedom’s [G] road
[Bridge]
My [Bm] freedom can’t in [Am] fringe on you
And [Bm] yours can’t in [Am] fringe on me
We [C] have to come to that [Am] agreement
Or [C] none of us will end up being [D] free
[Chorus]
Since we’re all [C] connected let’s learn what [G] matters
It’s time to share [C] ideas and the [G] load
Let’s [C] not repeat our worst [Em] mistakes again
Let’s walk the [C] path, [D] up freedom’s [G] road
[Chorus]
Since we’re all [C] connected let’s learn what [G] matters
It’s time to share [C] ideas and the [G] load
Let’s [C] not repeat our worst [Em] mistakes again
Let’s walk the [C] path, [D] up freedom’s [G] road
[Outro] [| C | Em | C | D | G |]

I love your message of connectedness as perhaps a truer expression of "freedom's road" than some other offered definitions of freedom. As always your heart is in a wonderful place here. Good work!
@pabrizzer Feb 2022
so is it every person for them self or sharing ideas and the load?
i reckon freedom has too many roads at the moment and there's often trouble at the intersections
something to ponder on - thanks
