I wrote my own song to tell the tyrants who want to take our freedoms away, including our medical freedom, that we are "gonna put up a fight.". It's called "I'm My Own Man." Here is me singing it at the 32-minute mark in this video: https://rumble.com/v3g8nf2-9923-overcoming-cloudy-skies.html

Now hear me, Gentlemen,

It’s time to make a stand.

Against the tyrants (you know who they are),

And all their evil plans.

Stop duckin’ your head,

Stop shakin’ in your boots,

And open up your eyes.

Now act like a man,

And make that stand,

And soon you’ll realize.

CHORUS

They want to beat you down.

They want to keep you down.

They want to make you cry.

They want your soul to die.

But don’t you let them!

Oh no, don’t let them!

Oh no, don’t let them!

Don’t you dare let them!

I’m my own man,

I know what I am,

It’s more than you can see.

I’m my own man,

Don’t think that you can,

Make me bend the knee.

I’m my own man,

Gonna put up a fight,

Let’s go, it’s you and me.

I’m my own man,

Gonna stand in the light,

For everyone to see.

I’m my own man (I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

I’m my own man (I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

I’m my own man (I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

I’m my own man (I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

SECOND VERSE

Now Ladies, listen,

To some friendly male advice.

If it’s Freedom or security,

Choose Freedom every time.

‘Cause if you make the mistake,

Of going for safe,

You might be surprised to find,

That the tyrant’s plans,

Don’t match your plans.

You’ll get neither every time.

CHORUS

THIRD VERSE

Now hear me, Children,

Be careful what you think,

‘Cause the teachers that are teachin’ you,

Might teach you things that stink.

Like hating your skin,

And changin’ your sex,

And not likin’ who you are.

They may say they’re a friend,

But when it comes to the end,

They only leave a scar.

CHORUS

OUTRO

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

Gonna put up a fight now.

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

Gonna stand in the light now.

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

‘Cause I know what is right now.

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

‘Cause I know who I am now

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

And I’m makin’ my stand now.

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)

(I’m my own man, I’m my own man)
