FREEDOM!
Dear 45 million victims,
Freedom is like a human without sadness,
Freedom is like a human without illnesses,
Freedom is like a human being able to dream.
Freedom means to everyone,
To do whatever they want,
Without limiting others’ freedom,
Without ignoring their freedom.
Now, we are revolutionizing freedom,
By keeping victims from being trafficked,
By keeping victims from forced labor,
By keeping victims from debt bondage.
We do make changes,
Allowing them to shout at the sky freely,
Allowing them to walk in the wind, blowing away their clothes,
Allowing them to swim friendly in the oceans, with fish, sharks and whales.

UNCONQUERABLE
For 45 million people condemned to servitude,
It is essential and indispensable
Its name is freedom
According to warriors,
Who fight for it,
It means blood and sacrifice
Its name is freedom
People don’t understand this precious gift
Until it’s been lost
Its name is freedom
Maybe, our predecessors had no power
To defend us
But they didn’t give up
If today we are free
It’s thanks to their persistence
And its name is unconquerable freedom

INFINITE HOPES
Freedom is an unending hope,
An unquenchable torch and an unrelieved hurricane,
Which is born every singular day in our hearts.
No one knows its worth
However, when they lose this glory
They start to look desperately for it like a mother who has lost her baby.
Now it is time to be free in our minds and bring this to the whole world,
Perhaps, one day everything might be excellent
Otherwise if we fall down, let us die.
