Song: Count Down

I made a song with my friend Kira. It's hard because you won't know the tune, but you could just read it as a poem.
I wake up every mornin keeping everything in tight
Don't bother d'manding freedom cuz I'll just lose the fight
I'll just stay here wishing to breakaway
Even though I'd trade this for freedom any day

I'm 'onna count down till freedom
Don't know how many days I just need 'em

Days in fall pass slowly and sadly
I want my basic freedoms for real and badly
I wanna say what I need to say and be listened to
Not be invisible with nothin' to do
The only way is to leave my place that's lame
But seasons turn slowly and that's a real shame

I'm 'onna a count down till freedom
Don't know how many days I just need 'em

Right now it's winter--structured and cold
Want it to be summer--freedom that's bold
Then I can wake up and be listened to
Do a back flip in the sand if that's what I wanna do

I'm 'onna count down till freedom
Don't know how many days I just need 'em

Finally it's spring--count down's not long
Links comin' off the paper chain as I sing this song

I'm 'onna count down till freedom
Don't know how many days I just need 'em

People think I'm free since I'm not in jail
But I'm not listened to and away I can't sail
Every day I do stuff on behalf another's thought
What if I don't want to buy what they've already bought?
What if I don't want to do what they've already done?
What if all I want is my very own fun?

I'm 'onna countdown till freedom
Don't know how many days I just need 'em

Summer at last!
I can have a blast!


I Board the Plane,
Seein' some friends.
As I talk, it'll never end!

Finally, freedom is here again,
no chores, just freedom-
let's begiiiiin!

See the people I wanna see,
maybe not all,
but whatever I want can be!

'Cause SUMMER is what I deamand!
And SUMMER, hand in hand!

Summer is here!
Have no fear!

I've been doing a lot
On these days that are hot
Playin' at the pool
Goin' on water rides that are cool
Buyin' my favorite sweet
New friends I meet
Goin' places I like
Like a fun, challenging hike
Jumpin' off the blob
Feeling freedom in one big glob
Choosin' what I wanna do
Not like other places I've been tooooo!
Yahhhhhhh!!

Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Enjoy that freedom!
Come on, come on, come on come on! Enjoy that freedom!
Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Days spin fast
When fun is cast
It happens not even in a day
It's over but I want to stay!
Please let me stay more days--at least ten
Don't make me count down all over again!

This is the part where freedom ends
I guess I'll have to wait till next summer to enjoy it again
So I'm on my count down once more
No freedom, just structure, what a bore!
A life time of freedom just passed away
I guess the good moments just don't stay

I'm 'onna count down till freedom
Don't know how many days--I just need 'em
