Liberty
🗽
What would it take for one's life to be truly great?
For one to be the master of one's fate
And not carry others' unhealthy expectations, a hindering weight?
A determination to chart one's course no matter what
So others do not push and goad one into a rut,
Nor gently force one, disasters to court.
We were created by God to be free
He who made us willed that we choose who to be
We are to live and act on the basis of what we see
Whether with our physical eyes or those of the mind
Ours is the right to leave the baggage of the past behind
As we quest, the happiness we pursue we shall find.
A fight worth fighting, one for true liberty 🗽
It is the only way one's dream can become a reality
So that one's life will no longer be an abnormality
Fight for it no matter how dear the cost
For without it, all hope of happiness is lost
Alas! All that's left for one is nothing but the worst!
We live on earth but once, and it's done
Our opportunity to be all we can be is just one
Once we determine to seek liberty, we have won
We are now aligned with the goal of Him who created us
We have refused to live broken like a bridled horse
For we were born to be free to run our lives' course.
