I, Freedom

I, Freedom By my desires I firmly hold Whilst misery and fear torment The hand that strives to unfold Those with hearts of true intent Ask me if I find you wanting Do so and I will not lie Yes but I’ll not be lamenting My vapours that of do or die I hear the call of all enslaven See the yearnings deep inside Know, I am the one true haven Know that peace, I will provide Place me in the hand that wants me By tyrants you’ll not be ignored Fix the eye of steel upon me Reach to the sky, I am your sword. 20 April 2015

Oh my, so you're the inspiration for the Dusty Springfield hit 'Son of a Preacher Man'. I'll never be able to hear that song again now, without thinking of you lol. Take care, Richard
