My Last Stand

I climbed the mountains, I've trodden the plains I walked in the scorching sun and also the rains I reached far ends and may be crossed the lines Through the fangs and sometimes tides But luck goes to he who keeps alive For it's the wages of every persistent strive And the passing of time brought me to my best love Sh'ld it be slavery I'm choosing to slave You see freedom is a feeling only felt in the heart It starts with you before comes the light. Your choice is your freedom: the magic of your might It sends you into the sky like flying kite The day i met her, she became a place to stand My past from then became a dark land And i gripped Catalina in my very right hand. Remember home is a head and never behind. For now i don't care whether i found love or it found me As long as it gave me wings to fly free It's hard my friends you can't really agree That I'm stronger and straighter than a palm tree.
