Free man's lyrics

From the lies of realty

I know that home is a golden cage

With my pride and my dirty hands

I write to you on this page

 

After all I can't let go

Can’t live alone all the way

So the lies of realty

Will make me someday go insane

The winter is gone, I'm afraid from the sun

In my face they will stand, they point with there hands

And look with strange fear

 

So I come back to you 

That’s what I'm going to do

Maybe you'll understand

I'm not like any man

Coz my heart is deep

 

 

For my life was realty

I live now outside the cage

I was like any other man

I worked so hard like a slave

 

 

And the world won’t even see

I know they don’t understand me

That what you fix will be broken again

As the bones of my dirty hand and my veins

 

As a fact of realty

The human brings the pain

They will live and not understand

That happiness is the gain

. it's quite a song ... like ed says ... the name of the lesson is loss but the lesson is a gain ... possibly preventing us from creating the same pain twice ... is quite a thought and expressed beautifully ...

Wisdom is never old it gathers moment like your poem. The meanderings are clear, the reality is we are all responsible for our own happiness and your words, verse comes to this conclusion. I'm glad I read this. Thanks for sharing. Really well done.

Prompts introspection...logical...wise...humans bring pain but they also can bring joy...there are always two sides of the medal as they say in Poland :) This is a wonderful piece!

[Emotionally Blank yet F..]

It may have been written in '99 but it's still really good and so so true today. I love the way it was written and the fact it ends in somewhat of a lesson. Terrifc job!

Very thoughtful and thought provoking. I love how the'real' world will be in your face pointing and fearful of the transformation.
