Freedom of speech, a right we hold dear To express our thoughts, without any fear To speak our minds, to share our views To challenge authority, and break the news It's a cornerstone of democracy A fundamental right, for you and me To voice our opinions, to make a stand To fight for justice, across the land But with freedom comes responsibility To use our words, with sensitivity To respect others, and their beliefs To listen and learn, to find common relief For words can heal, or they can harm They can unite, or they can alarm So let us use them, with care and thought To build a world, where all are sought Where freedom of speech, is a tool for good To bring about change, in our neighbourhood To create a world, where all can thrive And our voices, can truly come alive.
