Free to Be

Free to hurt and be hurt,

Free to learn,

Free to fail or succeed,

Free to escape,

Free to stay or run,

Free to stumble,

Free to get up or stay down.

If it is tomorrow and we have grown old,

Know that regardless,

Whether you have gone timid or bold,

I’ll be by your side through thick and thin,

Rain and shine, no problem,

I will stay even in trial and sin,

What tomorrow brings is a mystery

That only time will solve,

For us, there will always be a victory.

Free to see or be blind,

Free to choose,

Free to listen or ignore,

Free to speak.

Free to stand up or stand down,

Free to try,

Free to love or hate.

Now and forever, yesterday and before,

Whenever you need me,

In an instant, I’ll be at your door,

With a shoulder to lean on,

Day or night,

I’ll listen, not yawn,

In flaws, you abound,

As any mortal does,

Yet, for you, I’ll stay around.

Free to be free.

Free to be truthful.

Free to be courageous.

Free to be loyal.

Free to be sure.

Free to be determined.

Free to be.
