I wrote the song FREEDOM immediately after Philando Castille and Alton Sterling both lost their lives within 24 hours of one another in July of 2016. I, along with millions of people, watched video footage of these unarmed black men losing their lives in the most horrific ways. The truth that these unjust deaths revealed about our country, including the systemic failings of our criminal justice system, became my personal call-to-action. Then the 2016 election night happened, and the results added a whole new layer to the purpose of this song and project. Now, almost four years later, too little has been done, and the story remains the same. With the horrific and unjust killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd weighing heavily on our hearts and minds, it is time to release FREEDOM as a rallying cry and a call to action to stand up and fight for our freedom.
Martin Luther King Jr. said it best: “Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.” This project endeavors to challenge its viewers to think about one single thing they can do to change the world around them. I believe that WE (the people), ARE THE ANSWER!
"Freedom" by Celisse Henderson
Look at the world that we live in
Look at the trouble and pain
Look how all is forgiven
When we lose so many in vain
See how some things are changing
See how some things are not
See which people get answers
And then see which ones are forgot
We hurt just like you
We bear the shoulders of truth
We ‘re told this land is for you and I
Then why are we the ones to die
We are standing up
We will be light
We all deserve the right to freedom
Let this be the night
Young old black and white
Come join the right to fight for freedom
Look at all this frustration
Look at all this regret
Look at how we’ve been broken
And then tell me how we’re the threat
Can you see us just like your brother
Can you see me just like a friend
If all lives really do matter
Then tell me when the killing will end
We hurt just like you
We bear the shoulders of truth
These words are not just to comfort me
I sing for equality
We are beautiful
We are valuable
We all deserve to be free

Just saw you in concert in NC, you are absolutely amazing! Finding your music is a blessing! Thank you beautiful one!
I watched her preform live with Brandi Carlile this weekend in LA and I love her. Telling everyone who will listen!!! She is amazing and deserves to be heard and honored
Amazing so glad to of been apart of this and being able to help the little i did
Saw Celisse open for Brandi Carlisle whom I love but honestly enjoyed Celisse’s music more. Thank you to Celisse for playing and for Brandi for giving her the stage.
Playing Outlaw fest with Willie Nelson and friends. Can't wait to hear her in person.
A friend was singing praises after a concert so I sought this out. Literal chills at the power contained in less than five minutes.
I just watched her performance at the Gorge with DMB and it was iconic. Broke all the barriers. She not only says it, she lives it. If only we could all be so brave.
Thank you! Thank you 1 billion times over and over again!
Celisse is the bad ass guitarist who performed with LIZZO on SNL this year.. This song is amazing. Thank you Celisse!!! We re the answer. We are the change we have been looking for!

Saw Jon Baptiste Tiny Desk from a few years ago. Knew it would lead me to 🔥. Do I hear some similarities to Jon Baptiste recently released song also entitled " Freedom"? Did you have a hand in writing that song?
