Sir Paul McCartney – Freedom

This is my right, a right given by God
To live a free life, to live in freedom

Talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom
I will fight, for the right
To live in freedom

Anyone, tries to take it away
Will have to answer 'cause this is my right

I'm talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom
I will fight, for the right
To live in freedom, yeah oh

Talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom
I will fight, for the right
To live in freedom

Everybody talking about freedom
We're talking about freedom
We will fight, for the right
To live in freedom, oh

Talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom
I will fight, for the right
To live in freedom

I'm talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom
We will fight, for the right
To live in freedom

Comment:

This song sang by Sir Paul McCartney was a tribute for the victims of 9/11 incidents. But I choose this song because it lyrics were talking about freedom. Freedom is one of the human rights. Everyone should have their own freedom and it is stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Right. Most of the countries even included about freedom in their Fundamental Liberties section in their country Federal Constitution. We can see it in the verse of the song such as:

#“This is my right, a right given by God
To live a free life, to live in freedom”

This verse clearly stated about this “freedom” given by God. God want us to live free and in freedom. People that being made slave should be free as they have their right for freedom which is naturally given by God.

#“Talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom
I will fight, for the right
To live in freedom”

This next verse clearly stated about fighting for the right in order to live in freedom. We can see that many revolutions in the past and also present happen due to the fighting for freedom. One of the example is Mahatma Gandhi not only fighting for India independence but also the freedom of his citizens.

To conclude, this song clearly stated about fighting for freedom which is one of the human rights. Everyone have their own right for freedom. No one can denied it. It is clearly stated in UDHR and also every countries Federal Constitution. Everyone should be free and not be enslaved or being force to involve in any activities that will surely denied their right for freedom.
