[Verse 1]
They silenced the voice that roared too loud
Took a man who stood tall in the crowd
A husband a father now shadows on the ground
Freedom whispered but they turned it down
[Prechorus]
Who gave the right to the gun in the night
Who tore the truth from the fight
[Chorus]
Voice of the free they tried to erase
But his words burn on in this hollowed space
Erika's tears fall like rain on stone
They took her love but his spirit’s grown
Voice of the free still carving the sky
[Verse 2]
Two small hands reaching for what’s gone
Daddy’s chair empty the days drag on
A rebel’s price paid in blood on the lawn
But his courage keeps singing through the dawn
[Prechorus]
Who gave the right to silence the fight
Who doused the stars of the night
[Chorus]
Voice of the free they tried to erase
But his words burn on in this hollowed space
Erika's tears fall like rain on stone
They took her love but his spirit’s grown
Voice of the free still carving the sky
