Mere Liberte

AH, BEAUTIFUL FREEDOM
I'M BASKING IN YOUR GLORY
SOAKING IN THE MAGIC OF YOU
MY HEART IS LIGHT
UPON YOUR STAGE
I'M OPEN LIKE A BOOK
INSIDE YOUR WOMB
OH, HOW LONG
BEFORE YOU SLIP AWAY
I GRIP TIGHTER
TO KEEP YOU CLOSE
ALAS, I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU
COMPLETE, UNBROKEN
FREEDOM IS THE GREATEST GIFT
THE HARDEST TO HOLD ON TO
YOU HELD ME IN YOUR ARMS
I CLUNG TO YOU
LIKE A NEWBORN CHILD
AWAKE IN A NEW WORLD
EYES WIDE OPEN
BEFORE THE FALL
I WISHED YOU AWAY
MY HEART CAVED
AT THE SIGHT.
