    Story Behind the Song
    Written on the plane back from volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity, contemplating the voiceless "working poor."

    Lyrics
    SET THEM FREE
    Greg Osterberg, © 2000

    No one wants to know this,
    But its got to be said.
    Its the truth that you suspected,
    No, its not all in your head.
    Its a dirty little secret, used to keep us all misled:
    There are children locked in factories,
    No, slavery isnt dead!

    (CHORUS)
    Set them free, set them free
    Open up the factory
    Set them free, set them free
    Open up the factory
    Set them free, set them free
    Theyre depending on you and me

    Her 14th birthday came & went
    While she worked a 12 hr. day.
    For seven days a week,
    and 20 cents an hr. her pay.
    Its all about cheap clothing,
    Brand Name labels cut the cost -
    To get that bargain price, a
    Thousand childhoods are lost!

    (CHORUS)
    Set them free, set them free
    Open up the factory
    Set them free, set them free
    Open up the factory
    Set them free, set them free
    Theyre depending on you and me

    Big Labels couldnt do it here,
    So they shipped it all off-shore.
    In sweatshops ruled by fear
    The Boss is screamn out for more.
    Theres a gap in child protection
    The eagles fallen from the air
    An old navys in the harbor, but
    Its a slave ship anchored there!

    (CHORUS)
    (REPEAT VERSE ONE)

    Set them free, set them free
    Open up the factory
    Set them free, set them free
    Open up the factory
    Set them free, set them free
    Were talkin bout dignity
    Set them free, set them free
    Theyre depending on you and me
