Running Free

Running free, running free
Can you see me, I am free

My spirit soars, no longer chained
to a body that hinders against my inner law
I am free, do you see me
I am alive, do not mourn
You will only be left forlorn

Celebrate beloved one
For you were always my favourite son
My sun and moon they still exist
It is your smile that is betwixt
For I to leave this inner realm 
I seek your smile so that I can go that final mile

Joy is lacking where you feel pain
Brought to you by life’s disdain
Don’t you see I am free
Soaking up a greater reality
I am one, I am whole
It is earthly life that always stole
this inner freedom, this great relief
that the pain of life took from me like a thief

Running free, running free
Can you see me, I am free
