A Right, Everlasting


How can anyone Love? Is it a Right, Everlasting? The tender sows Love in faith that he will reap And the tree bears fruit for the one who tends. Its Right to Love is its purpose while living And its fruit is the Love it returns to its friend. How can anyone have Joy? Is it a Right, Everlasting? When the wind blows, Joy, through hope, it will bring. The wind moves the tree, making it dance freely The leaves make its voice to sing in the breeze Pursuing to stretch its branches beyond its proximity. How can anyone Hope? Is it a Right, Everlasting? There's a season for everything, a time to wither, a time to grow. The wind brings a sign that with change comes a new Hope. There's a time to reap and a time to sow And the tree's Rightful purpose is to seek its Hope. From where does Freedom come? The tree that Hopes plants a seed; its fruits are Love and Joy. He who acts upon these things, believing, Blessed! You're Free! From stronghold, from chains, from anything, there is Freedom. The decision is yours! After all, it is the Human Right, Everlasting.
