The very first time I was born; was in a garden in the east of Eden.
God breathed a breath into me, and I became a living soul, unto all the
world I was to be called freedom.
Down through time men became angry and wars rage,
The water turn red, blood spilled from men of all age.
Countless time I was reborn, grew but never was I to become old.
Heart ache and blood shed was the key to my future, whether shy, timid, reckless, or bold.
I was born in the Moors of Ireland, the outback of Australia, across the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, to the fertile fields of the wide American plains.
I was born on ships, airplanes, in canoes, barges, automobiles, even trains.
On countless beaches, rivers, and plains, the place may be different yet always the same,
always am I born in the brain of men.
conceived in the heart, watered by blood,
sweat and tears, all of these causing pain.
Yes my name is Freedom, I am in all brave hearts,
I am reborn over and over never to depart.
Form the first breath of life,
unto the last day of strife.
May there be a glimmer of light; so for all the oppressed people of the world may it burn bright.

I hope the bells of freedom one day ring for the entire world. It is a dream, but miracles do happen sometimes. This is a great write, Andy.
