Freedom Sings

I'm out on the highway 
driving along 
the radios playing 
my favorite song

The wind in the trees 
is whispering please
the sunshine is shinning
I'm travelling free.

I'm there in that moment
enjoying the breeze
again I am walking
from home down to work

not rushing not thinking 
just looking around
enjoying the sights and the things 
that I've found

The sunrise of pinks and gold sparkled dew
the birds that are singing to me and to you
the green grass and foliage 
The smells and the sounds.

Sometimes I rush and life passes me by
like a meal that is eaten without time to taste
it's gone in a moment of hustle bound haste
lost to depression, oh what a waste.
