Freedom

What good is freedom
without Our own time.
We're society's prisoners
but have committed no crime.

Life's like a journey
on a slow-moving train.
From station to station
nothing lost nothing gained.

From our very first breath
we're all caught in a web.
Hills become mountains
On our journey towards death.

We're all caught in a trap
until our lord pays a call.
Then we leave here with nothing
what's the point of it all?

John, the point of it all is that if we’d never been born we’d have been and seen nothing at all. We wouldn’t have known how wonderful love is, or how blissful that freedom is… Belle
