Freedom

We are sullenly mourning For security from the demoralizing night I am despairingly probing For mercy to carry us back to our divine flight We are all wishing for infinite freedom We are all seeking for an abundant kingdom If we are living in pure happiness, why are we so emotional inside and out? Why are we painstakingly tracking down a getaway away from this mystifying dilemma? What is all this venturing about? If we are swaying in the rhythm of faultless jolliness, why are we vexing about the departure of our best friend? It isn’t in our control…so get a grip or we'll fall! If we build up our friendship, we'll have wounds to mend So stop your blaming and cursing or we'll be in appall If we are all leaders, why are we panicking? We are all leaders…we aren’t senseless pleaders! So face your phobias and get out of the deserted state! We are all leaders…we will not give in, vile deceivers! Saunter out of sight, so we won’t meet our unsettling fate! You meddled with our cries So don't point fingers, you insidious devil And forced us to believe your jaded lies SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I don't want to consider your excuses, for our truth stands still If we are living in pure happiness, why are we not meant to be? If we are living in pure happiness, why are we battered and bent? If I am living in pure happiness, why am I not free? Could we ever discard this horrifying dilemma that pounds on us like cement? We must act like a leader—tough and vigilant Striving to survive! We must mimic like a leader—buff and independent Struggling to stay alive! Disregard the mourning state; Drive out the defiant enemies and make them face their damnations So we can joyfully integrate and negotiate You’d do me a favor to cease your supplications!
