This song and video, written, performed, and recorded by fellow FReeper "Quill Pen", is a tribute to America and those who risk their lives to keep America free.
From the chorus:
It's A Free Country, where dreams come trueI encourage you to check the song video out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOx9GOmdqhA
'Cause once you've tasted freedom, a cage will never do.
It's A Free Country, as long as we live and breath
So don't tread on me, no, don't tread on me
It's A Free Country.
Hey Onyx, Dayglored, I'm out of quarantine!!!! The Admin Mods looked kindly upon me, and I am now able to respond by myself! Thanks for your help!
Well -- if the Mods listened to your song, how could they not recognize you as a solid, Conservative FReeper!?!
Great job!
I am so glad you like my song!!!! It means so much to me!!!
"It's A Free Country" - Carolyn Owen (C) 2011 Carolyn Owen
Somewhere in America there's someone reaching up
Striving hard to raise the bar to fill that golden cup
And wherever there's a need there's a will to create
And someone there to raise a hand and step up to the plate
It's A Free Country - where dreams come true
'Cause once you've tasted freedom a cage will never do
It's A Free Country - as long as we live and breathe
So don't tread on me, no don't tread on me
It's A Free Country
Anywhere in America there's still pursuit of liberty
With hands and heart and hope - breathing the blessed air of democracy
And as the centuries relentlessly roll - we must stand tall against our foes
Standing true, standing strong - and tyranny oppose
It's A Free Country - where dreams come true
'Cause once you've tasted freedom a cage will never do
It's A Free Country - as long as we live and breathe
So don't tread on me, no don't tread on me
It's A Free Country
So say a prayer for America - because we really care
We believe in freedom for all the world to share
We live to be free, we've died to be free
It's A free country
It's A Free Country - where dreams come true
'Cause once you've tasted freedom a cage will never do
It's A Free Country - as long as we live and breathe
So don't tread on me, no don't tread on me
It's A Free Country
It's "...as long as we live and breathe", not "breath".
Thanks to FReeper TXnMA for letting me know, and apologies to Quill Pen for the error.
I liked her song and I liked her other one too. She likes horses and seems to know what she is doing around them. I also like her horse. Is that enough likes for this post onyx? LOL I like you too, onyx.
Thanks!!! I’m so glad you like my music and videos!!!
I have been riding horse since I was 5 years old. My first horse jumped 5’2” and we were on the horse show circuit a lot. My 2nd horse was a wild Mustang...I was the 1st one to ride him! I now like bareback Dressage riding and jumping!
I love all horse, dog, and cat people, too!!!!!!!!
Good song. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your support and kind words!!! It is a great joy to have people enjoying my music!
I have a 2nd music video on YouTube you might enjoy as well...for my song “I’m Tougher”, (also from my new CD “Horse Sense”).
Here is the YouTube link to see that video:

I’m putting a 3rd video together in iMovie right now!
Great graphic you posted for me!
Thanks for listening, and for your vote of confidence!
I watched 'I'm Tougher' right after I watched 'It's A Free Country'. I like it as well.
Ooooooooh!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
You can also listen to all of the songs from my new CD “Horse Sense”. Here is the link:

This is a dream come true, having so many people interested in my music!!!!!!!!!!
You are welcome. Used to do a little bit of jumping and dressage myself years ago of course. Bad health now. Did manage to go over a jump one time and the horse didn’t. Poor baby had colic and we didn’t know it. Got a nice back brace for that one for a while. LOL Cool about the wild Mustang. Had a friend who was I swear one of those horse whisperers. She was the only one I ever knew that could calm temperamental stallions especially getting them into the trailers.
I like horse, dog and cat people too.
OMG, I see you sing blues. I love blues. It’s my absolute favorite.
Oh, cool!!!!! Sorry about your fall that messed up your back!
I must have fallen off a thousand times, though I’ve not hit the ground in the past 30 years! The horse in the video would try every trick in the book to buck me off, riding bareback way out in the hills of upstate NY.
Wow, thanks!!!!! I also have a CD of live Blues from several NY State Budweiser Blues Festivals!!!
I recorded the other CDs in my log-cabin home recording studio. I play guitar, keyboards and bass.
I am thrilled at the response my music is getting!!!!
I sure wish I could give Sarah Palin a chance to hear my song “It’s A Free Country”...and a way to get it to the Tea Party!!!
A new fellow Freeper, Quill Pen, has a new album out with a very patriotic song that another fellow freeper, Dayglored has posted for our enjoyment. He says:
“This is a song that all of America needs to hear! It is dedicated to America, and to the troops that defend our freedom.”
I agree. He has linked to a YouTube of her song.
This is not an Apple thread but I thought the members would enjoy this, being that we are all conservatives.
