I've known FReeper "Quill Pen" for many years as an accomplished Country musician and recording artist. She's conservative through-and-through, and the message of this song comes straight from the heart, with love abounding for our Great Nation.

This song is the first track from her new CD "Horse Sense". Information about the song and CD, and links to listen or download a copy, are on the FR profile page of Quill Pen.

This is a song that all of America needs to hear! It is dedicated to America, and to the troops that defend our freedom.

Admin Mod: I put this in "News/Activism" to get the topics "Conservatism" (Constitution) and "Politics" (elections). However if you feel it should be in Chat or something else, please relocate it for me. Thanks!

Onyx, this is the song I wrote to you about a few months ago when it first was recorded. I notice that there is a new Sarah Palin Ping List, could you please put me on it? Thanks!

Jim, this song was recommended by Onyx as one you would enjoy. I hope you do!

I am so happy to share my song "It's A Free Country" with all my fellow FREEPERS!!! Here are the lyrics to go along with the YouTube video:
"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 been pointed out to me that I added a typo in the chorus in the thread body. [embarrassed blush]

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.

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.

I thought it might be nice to add a picture of Quill Pen, standing in front of Old Glory and the Gadsden flag. This is snapped from the beginning of the video, with her permission.

‘breath’ should be ‘breathe’ (probably not the lyricist’s mistake)
