I Wonder

I wonder if one day I'll be free?

I wonder how nice it would be?

I wonder If freedom will ever
happen for my family and me?

I wonder if freedom will cost a large fee?

I wonder if my dream could really come true?

I wonder if my maaster understands the horror we see?

I wonder if this nation will even get a clue?

I wonder if this country will know what to do?

I wonder if all slaves will one day be free?

I wonder where we'll go or what I'll be?

I wonder if freedom could happen to me?


I wonder
