One of Liberty’s
Children
I was born one of Liberty’s children
Full of promise, happiness and glee
But I died as a hate crime victim
I followed my bliss and my passion
So youthful and hopeful and free
I was born one of Liberty’s children
But malice can change life’s direction
A martyr I would be at twenty-three
I died as a hate crime victim
Always faithful, those words they had spoken
Convinced me there’s no reason to flee
I was born one of Liberty’s children
They beat me, cut me, left me broken
Death is the river where I bleed
I died as a hate crime victim
I will follow my Shepard to heaven
And shine my light so everyone can see
I was one of Liberty’s children
And I died as a hate crime victim
