LIBERTY

by E. Shaun Russell

Everything I ever wanted was lost
Anything I ever needed always came at some high cost
The protocol of life frowned on me for what I'd feel
And the politics of freedom left no room to be real

I was looking for a paradise -an oasis in my soul
A refuge from emotion, liberty my goal
Peace of mind, peace of heart, a piece of achieved dreams
And while the world backs away in fear, I've found it -or so it seems

The truth lies behind
The liberty of the mind
Insight paves the way
To the freedom of a new day
Man cannot doubt
Unless he has something to believe
Man has no way out
Until he has something to achieve

Basking in my glory, content with my need
Living for myself is surely the best way to succeed
Liberty enacted, freedom oh so near
No more reason for protocol, nothing more to fear

All I ever wanted was to be free
And have my liberty

The truth lies behind
The liberty of the mind
Insight paves the way
To the freedom of a new day
Man can never doubt
Unless he has something to believe
Man has no way out
Until he has something to achieve
