Cry of Freedom

This song is a cry of resistance against human trafficking, telling the story of a young woman trapped in exploitation and violence. From the opening lines, which depict the drama of separation and slavery, emerges a growing determination to fight for freedom. The lyrics transform into a powerful manifesto of self-determination and redemption, culminating in a triumphant cry of emancipation: "I AM NOT FOR SALE!" A celebration of female resilience, justice and freedom. ### Lagos fades away, a ticket in my hand Mother in tears, father silent in his torment A truck, then a raft, Africa disappears The promised Europe, a dream that burns and tears A debt to pay, thousands in euros "You’ll work for us," whispered threats in the shadows Passport ripped, my papers withheld Calls back home: "Do exactly what we tell" Forced prostitution, violence every day They know where your family stays Each client’s a nightmare, each night’s a trap Bodies sold, souls lost in the gap Nigerians, Bangladeshis, women without names Modern slaves in a filthy game Death threats if you try to resist Terror becomes your only grip They scream at me, "Pay off your debt!" Rain-soaked sidewalks, a cold that kills Long dirty nights with no identity left Suffocated screams, tears that spill A stranger lost in a world of trade Constant threats, violence unspoken but made I learn their language through fists and chains Wounded pride but strength remains They think they’ve broken me for good But they don’t know me, misunderstood My strength’s bigger than their lies Wait and see, watch me rise I AM NOT FOR SALE! Shout it loud, let the world hear the tale! MY BODY’S NOT YOURS TO OWN! My freedom comes before your throne! I AM A WOMAN, AND I WILL STAND! No one breaks me, no one commands! NO ONE!!! I listen to voices saying, "You’ll make it through" Gather my strength, break chains in two My voice’s a dagger, my story’s a fight No one can stop me—I’m claiming my right Inside, a storm begins to grow I seek help, learn what I need to know Build alliances against my oppressors Gather courage in every measure Prepare my justice, vengeance defined Speak the truth, leave no lies behind Document every wound, every scar Name my abusers, no matter how far Break the chains, reclaim my soul I am no victim; I take control My voice rises, my freedom whole I AM FREE! I AM A WOMAN, AND I WILL BE! MY BODY IS MINE! MY FUTURE STARTS NOW—THIS TIME! NOW!!! Freedom… freedom… freedom…
