I've been looking for Freedom

One morning in June
some twenty years ago
I was born a rich man's son
I had everything that money could buy,
but freedom I had none

I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found

I headed down the track
my baggage on my back
I left the city far behind
Walking down that road
with my heavy load
trying to find some ease of mind

Father said: "You'll be sorry, son,
if you leave your home this way
And when you realize
the freedom money buys
You'll come running home someday"

I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found

I made a lot of dues
had plenty to lose
travelling across the land
Worked on a farm,
got some muscle in my arms
but still I'm not a self-made man
I feel the run for many years to come
I'll be searching door to door
And given some time
some day I'm gonna find
the freedom (freedom, freedom) I've been searching for

Did David Hasselhoff start a Revolution of Freedom?
What did change since he sung this Song in 1989?
Did the personal Freedom increase or decrease?
How do you define Freedom?

I'm looking forward to read your Definitions of Freedom ! :)

In my opinion Freedom is the right to do what your instinct tells you to do, while making sure you dont harm other people Freedom. So basically not to live for the Moment, but to live in the Moment, and make the best of every second you remain on Earth.
But, dont forget your Freedom is only the freedom of your Society.
