Free Yourself
Take off your shades and open your eyes
perhaps, just maybe
you’ll appreciate the twinkle of the nighttime skies
Turn off your music, unclog those ears
take a moment and listen
who knows what you’ll hear
The world is shrinking with our lightning speeds
with our tablets and iphones
everything’s a breeze
But that’s just the problem with these modern days
we can't think for ourselves
sure we can text, but independence? It’s all lost in the haze
The haze of technology and blur of high speeds
what’s the rush with it all?
We’ve got time so stop, sit and enjoy the colors of the trees
Sit down, take a breath
listen to the scripture of the leaves
lay back and open up your senses, give yourself a rest
A rest from the hustle and bustle of human time
free yourself from the commotion
sway to the beat of the wind, like a wind chime
There’s nothing we can do to save human kind
life is speeding up
and whether you like it or not you’re along for the ride
This ride, you can’t get off it
you can’t freeze time
you’ll never fit it in your pocket
So all you can do is make the best of it all
make mistakes and progress slowly
there’s no need to run - don’t be afraid to crawl
Just remember to cherish the moments you get
the moments of peace and freedom
cherish these, and you’ll be all set
