Freed in Chains


Be anything
Just not one of them
 
Be free
Just don't go here
 
Grow up
But don't you change
 
Make your own decision
Just not this one
 
Be independent
Independently dependent
On my advice
 
The world's your oyster
This one, not that one
 
Don't you stray
Because then you'll be chained
Down, looking only forward
Peripheral vision and hindsight and foresight
Just a dream
Be free, just don't dream
Anymore.
