Free Country from Free Country by Ben Mitchell
To many, freedom is an attitude: we are as free as we decide to be. And no matter what restrictions corporations, organisations or other non-living entities conspire to put upon living men and women we are always free to choose. Even if it sometimes seems like the only choice left is to face each challenge with courage and love in our hearts. That is freedom, and this is a free country. NB. Banjo by Hamish Davidson (from Australia's premier bluegrass act, The Davidson Brothers).

Lyrics
Free Country by Ben Mitchell © 2022
I don’t know what you do
But I try and stay true
To who I am and where I come from
It’s not always easy
To see the forest for the trees
But still we get up and carry on
CHORUS
I don’t know where you live
But I hope you’re just like me
Living in free country
You don’t have to wear a mask
You don’t have to get a shot
You don’t have to be anything you’re not
You don’t have to be afraid
You don’t have to be dismayed
You don’t have to give your name on the spot
CHORUS
When I grew up they talked a lot about those convict ships
How we’re all supposed to come from crime and hardship
But that’s not the whole truth I came to inner stand
We just as much come from the people on this land
CHORUS
There’s room for us all you know
And we don’t have to fight
Not anymore
