Freedom's Light
by Kyer en Ysh






                   Forever Knight belongs to Sony/Tristar, but its patently obvious that I
                   enjoy that show far more than they do.  (More evidence that the universe is
                   not fair.)

                   This is based on a famous song I bumped into again on the Internet.  Not
                   much, but listening to the midi put me in mind of the lyrics, which made me
                   think of
                   Nicholas during those flashbacks in Father's Day.  You know---"I'm going to
                   run away." scenes?
                   My apologies to those not native to North America for basing this on a very
                   patriotic song.  This is in no way meant to put down other nationalities.
                   Kyer, in fact, is fascinated by other cultures and would love to travel the
                   world if she could.


                   (With apologies to Neil Diamond's 'America')

                   Far
                   I've been traveling far
                   All on my own
                   Dreaming on a star

                   Free
                   Only want to be free
                   To find my cure
                   Dance in a sunbeam

                   By a boat and by a train
                   I'll journey to America
                   Hoping I'll at last reclaim
                   My freedom in America

                   There, can it be I'll walk in day?
                   Safe from all who'd fight my way?
                   From the ties that I've torn
                   Family ties that I've torn

                   There, far from my sire's trace
                   Where at last I'll earn my grace?
                   Redeemed blood turned warm
                   Redeemed blood turned warm

                   Then its there I'll make my world,
                   That world they call America
                   There I'll let my dreams unfurl
                   Redemption in America

                   Got a way to get me there
                   I'm going to America
                   Got a life I long to share
                   I'm going to America
                   I'm going to America
                   I'm going to America
                   I'm going to America
                   I'm going to America
                   Today
                   Today
                   Today
                   Today
                   Today!

                   My soul I would set free
                   Today
                   In light of liberty
                   Today
                   Of it I sing
                   Today
                   Of it I sing
                   Today!
