Freedom Is Only

Freedom is only as free
As freedom of speech—
And freedom of religion
You also must reach.

And freedom is only as free
As freedom of the press,
And you can't say you're free
If you have anything less.

Freedom is only free
If you're not falsely sent to jail,
For when there's anything less,
It's a "freedom" that will fail.

Freedom isn't freedom,
And freedom isn't free,
If it doesn't give all its freedoms
To you and to me.
