If she can fight for freedom...

From "It could have been me" by Holly Near:

A WOMAN IN THE JUNGLE SO MANY WARS AWAY

STUDIES LATE INTO THE NIGHT, DEFENDS THE VILLAGE IN THE DAY

ALTHOUGH HER SKIN IS GOLDEN LIKE MINE WILL NEVER BE

HER SONG IS HEARD AND I KNOW THE WORDS

AND I'LL SING THEM UNTIL SHE'S FREE

IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME, BUT INSTEAD IT WAS YOU

SO I'LL KEEP DOING THE WORK YOU WERE DOING AS IF I WERE TWO

I'LL BE A STUDENT OF LIFE, A SINGER OF SONGS

A FARMER OF FOOD AND A RIGHTER OF WRONG

IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME, BUT INSTEAD IT WAS YOU

AND IT MAY BE ME DEAR SISTERS AND BROTHERS

BEFORE WE ARE THROUGH

BUT IF YOU CAN WORK FOR FREEDOM

FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM

IF YOU CAN WORK (LIVE, DIE, SING) FOR FREEDOM I CAN TOO
