Where Freedom Finds the Fire
We walk in the cold, eyes frozen by hate
Trusting our souls to our puppeteers' fate
And thinking that we are by far the best players
In a scene where the actors are also the slayers
And nothing is real until our string is cut
And we want to break loose from the puppeteer but
The strings are still new, the master's hand sure
We may be worse off than we were before!
We need to find something much stronger than strings
That will loose us yet bind us and give us our wings.
We must open our minds, our hearts and our eyes
And try some respect and some courage for size.
Then what seems like a world and forever apart
Is only as far as our guts from our hearts
It's found in the wind that draws dreams ever higher
And blows us to where freedom finds the fire.
