Be free

Today the sun is shining
And a voice whispers to me
Be free

Don't be a slave to desire
Or the fire
Of your thoughts and feelings

Take all within
And just take it in
Like a beautiful scene
Decide what it means to you

And then decide what to do

You can decide anew
In every moment
Within the possibilities of your means
A golden freedom gleams

You have the power
This is the hour
To listen to the voice within
There is no sin
But to be a slave
As long as you don't hurt another
Do not even try to bother

With that they will say
Only you know the way

It is daunting to see
It takes courage to be
Who you long for in your heart
In each moment lies a brand new start
Until you die, the possibility

To be free

Author's Note
Real freedom is living consciously and not letting what you think and feel dictate your actions. What you think and feel is only information. If you are willing to take this information, along with all external information, and then make your own choice based on what you truly value and believe: Then you are truly free.
