Set me free

Set me free

Set me free!! Set me free!! Whispered their hearts
I’ll be free, I’ll be free was a phrase in their minds

Once upon a time freedom was a fantasy, they called it insanity; we called it humanity. Soldiers orientated to kill those who thought of it as reality. Do we live to enhance the lives of others? Is that not the soul-purpose of freedom?

Set me free!! Set me free!! Whispered their hearts
I’ll be free, I’ll be free was a phrase in their minds

Why live in fear, when you have a shield and a spear?
Let us live to share the freedom fought for us for 27 years, let us walk upon the steers of opportunity without the presence of fear.

My deepest understanding of freedom is the right for me to become who I want to be, the right for me to write what I feel the world needs.

Set me free!! Set me free!! Whispered their hearts
I’ll be free, I’ll be free was a phrase in their minds
I am free, I am free
hopefully we shall be.
