My Mind is Free


Let me list the things that are on my mind

The FEAR is gone and so is the strife

ANTICIPATION of a greater life

I know I must leave everything behind

In awe of all BEAUTY I have to find

I am FREE of the chains and of the knife

I am my own person and nobody's wife

There is ART out there of all different kind

I no longer believe this CHANGE is an end

Now my soul burns with a bright phoenix flame

New life soars from the ashes of sorrow

I will stand up, and do as I've been sent

All shall gaze and never forget my name

My mind is free and soars through tomorrow
