The 'Freedom' of Django Unchained

This is a remarakable and beautiful song from the movie Django Unchained.
An anthem for many on ATS if I've ever heard one

Freedom by Anthony Hamilton & Elayna Boynton

Felt Like the weight of the World Was on my shoulders
Pressure to break or retreat at every turn
Facing the fear that the truth i'd discovered
No telling how all this will work out But I've come too far to go back Now

I am Looking for freedom
Looking for Freedom
And to find it...Cost me eveything I have
I am Looking for freedom
Looking for Freedom
And to find it...may take everything I have

I know all to well it dont come easy
the chains of the world they seem to move in tight
I try to walk around If Im stumblin
It's so familial
Tryin to get up but the doubt is so strong
There's gotta be wind in my bones

I 'm Looking for freedom
Lookin' for Freedom
And to find it...cost me everything I have
well I 'm Looking for freedom
I'm Looking for Freedom
And to find it...may take everything I have

Oh now giving up has always been hard (so hard)
But If I do things the easy way I Won't get far

Mhm, Life hasn't been very kind to me latey (well)
But I suppose it's a push for movin' on (Oh yeah)
In time the sun's gonna shine on me nicely (on me, yeah)
Somethin' tells me good things are commin'
And I aint not gonna believe

I am Looking for freedom
Looking for Freedom
And to find it...Cost me everything I have
Well I am lookin' for freedom
Lookin' for freedom
And to find it...may take everything I have
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astonishing; how very far we've managed to come and how very very far we've yet to go. Freedom.

I log on to ats in chrome and it's been acting up lately (not playing sound) so i had to open that Hasselhoff song in IE so I spent a protracted amount of time wondering if he was after all some kind of unsung genius for writing this song and as it turns out...no, no he's not.

I've never heard of that song. I think ill change my title if I can.

Good idea.

Hoff did help bring down the Berlin wall, though.

Gotta hand him that.

In Germany they revere him like a God.

A God of Freedom.
