FREEDOM

Freedom
Everything is you
Everything is me
Everything is a part
Of what’s meant to be
freedom

God weeps for us
Too much hate in us
The fear is us
Too much hope for us
And freedom

We hold on to so much
Trying to control so much
Forgetting all we’ll never have
If we’re so desperate to grab
freedom

We fight wars over it
So much bloodshed over it
Most expensive thing in the world
Funny how it’s not free
Freedom

Love’s not love without
Freedom to
And blame’s not possible
if there were no
Freedom

Break away
From the gain
From the pain
From the frame
of “freedom”

Life is about choices
We must learn how to
Use our voices
Trying not to abuse our
Freedom

Some people won’t listen
If you give them the freedom
But some people will
Just give them the
Freedom

It can drive us crazy
And the lack of direction
But if we hold it too tightly
We can ruin everything
with freedom

Freedom
Free
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
