After reading Ha Lachma Anya – הא לחמא עניא, you can add this reading about the past and present struggles for freedom:
This year we are slaves, next year may we be free
Let my son go free so that my descendants will honor me
Pleaded Abraham silently
Let my people go free so that they may worship me
Said God to Pharoah
Let my people go free so that they may rebuild for me
Grieving Rabbis requested of Rome
Let my people return to the land so that they can be free
Wrote Herzl to the nations who would listen
Let my people gather unto me so they can rise from the ashes
Whispered the voices of the persecuted to those who lived
Let my people fight for their home so that their children will know peace
Prayed the mothers of Israel to the sons of Ishmael
Let my people go free so that they may worship freely
Cried the voices of many to Soviet Russia
Let my people pray free in the way that they desire to speak to me
Appealed the women in tallit to the men who deny them
Let my people go free so that they may worship me
This year we are slaves, next year may we be free
