Not By Choice

Let's go we need to run, run, run
We are not having very much fun
They came to take us all away
If we run fast we start to sway
All we wish is that we are to stay

We are not slaves by choice
We are forced to be what we are

We were forced on a large boat
We needed to stay long a float
If we are to survive
We didn't know that we wouldn't ever strive
We didn't know we wouldn't truly stay alive

We are not slaves by choice
We are forced to be what we are

Once we were on the flourished land
They might as well of cut off our hand
We will always need each other
We will no longer see each other
They took us away from each other

We are not slaves by choice
We are forced to be what we are

I didn't want it but I was sold
Just to be lied to, just to be told
None of our dreams will ever come true
We were told that we might come through
Who put us in chains if only I knew

We are not slaves by choice
We are forced to be what we are

Work, work, work I don't want to work
I don't even want to try to smirk
I feel as fragile as a fly
All I want to do is fly sky high
That won't happen unless I am sly

We are not slaves by choice
We are forced to be what we are

Hurry, hurry we have to go, go, go.
There is no time to be so slow
Hopefully my family escaped too
We are now so very, very, very few
Maybe I will find out what goes moo

We are no longer slaves
We are free and free to do with what we please
