I have written ‘Freedom Song’ to remind people that freedom is a priceless gift that needs to be nurtured, maintained and protected. The song aims to capture the feeling of freedom and the importance of working together as expressed in the lyrics— ‘Beauty’s born from sorrow’s pain.’ I want to encourage people to participate in the conversation, and to realise just how fragile freedom is as seen in the enormous sacrifices made by previous generations, who fought for us to have the right to choose our future. We in the free world are the lucky ones, and we should be thankful, for there are millions of people throughout the world living under repressive regimes, desperately fighting for their freedom.
