Are we free?

MVJ Simon October 29, 2007

Tags: freedom

To speak without fear of judgment
To write without pangs of guilt

To laugh out loud without reproach
To sing without shame

To walk without fear anywhere, anytime
To sleep without worries

To wake to a new dawn with a singing heart
And to wear a sparkling smile, that comes from within

And
then, we'll call ourselves "Free"
