Born Free!

I regret to remember that I was born free. 19 years have I been enslaved in walls that kept me in solitude and my mind in amnesia from living free. But now, these same walls are about to buckle and I am about to break free!

Imminent is my freedom to follow my heart. Next to my ear can I hear a roaring tide that will eventually break the walls built to contain me. I will hide no more in this pretentious security and false comfort. One step over the rubble will I begin to live my life to the fullest, living to be astounded over and over again by the beauty that will surround me, and the realisation that life is worth living! And then, will I continue to stay free because I was born free!

Born Free
Words by Don Black

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

(Stay free, where no walls divide you)
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free
