Freedom Has A Muse


When the world surrounds you to bind your evolution Break free Break free from the people who mock your ambitions and belittle your dreams Don’t let them tell you that your not meant to be brilliant Show them the blazing phoenix that you are and take flight And break free Words like love and passion, so delicate and vexing, grow within your bosom as easily as moonbeams dance upon dark water You don’t need a bolt of lighting from the fingertips of gods to strike the earth To leave your mark You don’t need an army of Spartans to make a change You are change Not a dollar made crisp and new, but a penny, a waif to the world And yet you will inherit the earth So break free Like stars that fall to the ground on the breath of a lover’s wish Logic doesn’t hassle you, your fantasies are certainty, are truth your aspirations fill your lungs Don’t let the overbearing atmosphere quash your breath as it wraps you in its chains Just break free You are freedom They cannot control you like their man- made light You are radiant and uncontainable like the sun Fierce, bigger then life, brighter then your enemies Yet you embrace them in your warmth When you break free You were meant to break free, to be free You are freedom Now let condemnation fade into the rearview mirror of your existence Make the guilty innocent and the innocent equals We shall all break free Because you are freedom And freedom has a muse
