FREEDOM FROM WAR  Laura Sandage
VERSE 1
I thought there was nothing that I could do
To stop a war machine so big, so strong
I thought one more person couldn't make a difference
I was wrong, I was wrong

CHORUS
I can take a stand (I can take a stand)
I can lend a hand (lend a hand)
I can carry freedom's light from shore to shore
I can play a part (I can play a part)
In a world with heart, I can
Bring about freedom, freedom from war

Verse 2
Freedom of speech is getting limited
Freedom of worship's coming under fire
There are so many people in fear or poverty
I can do what my heart desires

CHORUS
I can take a stand...

VERSE 3
Gathered together, we are powerful
I can feel the stirring force of something more
Than the isolated longings of our human suffering
It's the love I've been longing for

CHORUS
I can take a stand...
