Wow, this does ring a bell with me---but a vague one. I think iut was from a folk/theater oiece---maybe something by EARL ROBINSON.

Freedom doesn't come like a bird on the wing,
Doesn't come down like the falling rain,
You've got to work for it, fight for it,
Night and day for it,
And every generation has to win it again.

That's all I recall. It had a nice tune---but that's pretty much gone.

The single verse was more of a refrain---a chorus---a break between chapters or sections of the whole work.

But good luck...Now you've got me wondering where I heard it. Could've been an audio recorded work about the labor movement----and maybe the Ladies Garment Workers Union in New York. That just popped into my head too...
