[C]

I am alive

I have my freedom

I work my hands to the bone

And I, I build a home

Chorus:

Don't take what I have what I built away from me

Don't deny that I am a man with liberty

Don't stomp on a life that was created to make choices

To live free

I have my land

But you have power

And you will take what I have

Because you can

Chorus

Many cry out, "Power to the people"

I am a person,. so where is mine?

I watch my back

I watch my brother's

And I don't need to be told what to do

Chorus
