“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains” – Jean-Jacques Rousseau
My brother and my sister cry for their chains
My father and my mother cry for their chains
Inequality binds us and knows my name
Inequality winds us in its many chains
A day may come when we will rise again
And sing and dance with all our new friends
But as a man once said so long ago in pain
“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.”
