I AM FREEDOM


Fresh air, pure thought
Clear sky, free world
And here I am
Free in mid-air
As the second lasts
I breathe the air
Relish the sky
Refresh my thoughts
As the second slows
I say, “I’m free”

Yes, I am freedom
I am freedom when I say what I think
I am freedom when I do what I say
I am freedom when I free my thoughts
And raise my arms high
To touch the eternal sky

When I ask “why?”
I take a step into light
When I raise my voice high
I make a start to spread

I unleash my thoughts
I untie my binds
I unlock my mind
I am freedom

I am freedom, I go by my way
I am free from barriers of time
I am free of the handcuffs of suppression
I am free of the limit to expression

I am freedom
I am free to see, to love, to care
I am free to say, to hear
I am free to live as I wish
Yes, I am freedom

You make me cry
I’ll smile through tears
You make me weak
I’ll grow stronger

You hold me there and say that I can’t
I’ll show you what I can

You take my smiles away
You seize my voice
You cage me, capture me
You cannot cease my thoughts

I am freedom, I’ll still fight
I am freedom, I’ll still speak
I am freedom, I will think
I am freedom, I’ll break free

I’ll run through miles of distance
To see and relish my clear sky
And then I’ll slowly walk up to it
And raise my arms free...
