FREEDOM
Go
ahead, fly free as
a bird, my love,
no ropes, no
chains, no ties.
Soar to the
heights you want
to reach,
on land, on sea,
in skies.
If this is the
life you want,
dear heart,
I want stand in
your way.
I hope the freedom
you now have
is worth the price
you'll pay.
No waiting love
and warmth is
yours
since freedom
you've obtained.
Ecstatic joy you
took from me
by this freedom
you have gained.
Be free,
sweetheart, just
know someday
in your heart you
may look and see
that not a single
thing but love
will ever set you
free.
For human bondage
is in the hearts
of those who do
not choose
to genuinely care
and love;
therefore, my
dear, you lose.
No one is free
unless he's loved
and loveth in
return.
This I know and
sincerely hope
that you in time
will learn.
