Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation, (right now-ow-ow)
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation
Out of our way because we're ready to fly (liberation)
And for this right we stand here willing to die (liberation)
No we won't let those small minds stand in our way
If there's a price then we are willing to pay
Stand up and sing together all in one voice (liberatio-io-ion)
If you're in love with freedom you have no choice (liberatio-io-ion)
Even a child can see that now is the ti-I-ime
When will you learn my friend that you're satisfie-ie-ie-ied
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation (right now-ow-ow)
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation
We'll put an end to all this insanity (liberation)
We can't afford to waste our humanity (liberation)
Yes there are lives that we must stand up and shake
If there are contributions we're gonna make
We surely noticed that we won't be denied (liberatio-io-ion)
We are the winners, losers must step aside (liberatio-io-ion)
We have a job that simply has to get do-o-one
We're getting stronger yet we've only begu-you-you-you-un
Yea-ea-ea-ea-ea-eah (right now, right now, right now....)
Libera-a-a-ation, right now, right now-ow-ow
Yea-ea-ea-ea-ea-eah
Libera-a-a-ation, right now, right now-ow-ow
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation
(We need some libera-a-a-ation)
Liberation, liberation, it's time for liberation
Libera-a-a-a-atio-io-io-ion
It's time for liberation, (right now-ow-ow)
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation
Out of our way because we're ready to fly (liberation)
And for this right we stand here willing to die (liberation)
No we won't let those small minds stand in our way
If there's a price then we are willing to pay
Stand up and sing together all in one voice (liberatio-io-ion)
If you're in love with freedom you have no choice (liberatio-io-ion)
Even a child can see that now is the ti-I-ime
When will you learn my friend that you're satisfie-ie-ie-ied
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation (right now-ow-ow)
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation
We'll put an end to all this insanity (liberation)
We can't afford to waste our humanity (liberation)
Yes there are lives that we must stand up and shake
If there are contributions we're gonna make
We surely noticed that we won't be denied (liberatio-io-ion)

Yea-ea-ea-ea-ea-eah
Libera-a-a-ation, right now, right now-ow-ow
Liberation (libera-a-a-ation), liberation
It's time for liberation
(We need some libera-a-a-ation)
Liberation, liberation, it's time for liberation
Libera-a-a-a-atio-io-io-ion
