I need to live, live to be free, I need to live, be wholly me, Live to be free, I need to live, Live to be free, be truly me, Let my life be just and free, Let his light shine upon me, On this big land, this great big land, On this big land, I'm wholly me, From sea to sea, that great big sea, From sea to sea, I'm truly me, Be set free, and live, and be, Let his light shine upon me, Life is a song, that I belong, Life is a song, so sing along, Let's hear your song, sing loud and strong, Life is a song ... song ... song, I sing my LIFE.

Oh my, dear William, this poem is a very soulful song that describes the lyrics of life, in a way, that gives me spiritual goosebumps.. It's depth goes beyond what these words illustrate in one read.. It's very profound and like an inspiration/manifestation of hope, whilst actually suffering through darkness.. It describes the wish to liberate in an eternal shine and surf through the infinite expanse of seas.. I truly loved reading this, beautifully written.. Sending you many best wishes & light

Pleased am I, Lasaad. I surrender it all for another to take center stage, for me and my light are owned. Moving on, my friend. Aloha, William

Yes, Silent One--not to belittle, make a Joyful Noise as mom would say. As a lyricist and knowing of my events, she'll note the similarities, particularly, the undertone of faith. Thank you, my friend. Aloha, William
