FREEDOM

I was born to freedom

And it's free that I'll remain

The only bird I ever heard

Didn't pay no mind to chains

Once you pick the flower

It's never what it seemed

If you wanta love me

Don't try to kill my dreams

 

Now, didn't I always tell you

I only have love to give

Don't try to kill my sprit

Let my spirit live

 

Don't wanta be killed softly

structured or controlled

or smothered with protection

Give me room to grow

Once you climb the mountain

It's never quite the same

If it's music that you're after

Let my spirit sing

Let my Spirit

Let my Spirit

Watch my spirit soar

watch it fly like birds on high

To all those distant shores

Once you pick the flower

it's never what it seemed

If you wanta love me

Don't try to kill my dreams

This lyric is about the hard way to love, without giving into the requirements of jealousy, insecurity, or our own needs. It is the only love that is not actually self love.

Oh how this is so true to my heart.. that free-beating.. and another review here of one seeming to pick the clingy ones.. you don't truly pick um I think.. they are drawn to you.. see when you live with this type of passion. So many want that spirit, that high and freedom.. they try to grab it I think and hold with all might! (not realizing they are oppressing you.. I figured this much out) .. the rhythm, rhyme and flow were intense. Line for line.. I could feel it .. and it resounded my beliefs and style. Thank you so much for sharing.. truly loved it! =)

Hold on loosely but don't let go.... those lyrics play in my head reading this... it is so true that a healthy love will allow you to be yourself s well as be a couple for if you lose your independence then they are not loving you for you.

This is music to my ears and a standard by which i try to live. If you love someone love them unconditionally or it is not truly love. I have a long standing problem with irrational possessiveness and jealousy- I always seem to pick the clingy ones! cheers, spence
