Freedom

the flowers of life blossom at last
they grow and live oh so fast
so now I'm grown and leaving home
i finally now what it's like on my  own
I'm pursuing my dreams and following my heart
i'm speeding through life like a tranquilizing dart
I know my dreams can lead me far
if i just believe they could take me to mars
life ahead just takes my breath
i'm starting to worry i must confess
but i know it will be all right in the end
because i trust my family and friends
they will always be there for me
even when I'm finally free
following my rules i  make
my life now seems oh so fake
it hasn't sunk in i cant quite believe
how time just seems to fly for me
