Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How do kids learn respect and fraternity?
Morality means we agree on rights and wrongs, can’t you see?
Liberty now means no accountability,
The new victors boast, proud in their spree.

[Chorus]
Freedom’s shadow, where did we stray?
Liberty twisted, lost on the way.
Respect and fraternity, fading from view,
When did seduction become so untrue?

[Verse 2]
Selling lies, saying attraction’s just a ruse,
Deceit for dollars, making souls confused.
Boasting takers, proud of deceit,
But what’s the cost, where does truth meet?

[Chorus]
Freedom’s shadow, where did we stray?
Liberty twisted, lost on the way.
Respect and fraternity, fading from view,
When did seduction become so untrue?

[Bridge]
We need to find the way back, clear and pure,
Teach kids respect, make fraternity sure.
Stand for liberty, rewrite the tale,
Bring back values, let truth prevail.

[Chorus]
Freedom’s shadow, where did we stray?
Liberty twisted, lost on the way.
Respect and fraternity, fading from view,
When did seduction become so untrue?

[Outro]
Restore the values, end manipulation’s reign,
Teach respect, embrace compassion again.
