Your Spirit Can Then Be Free
You don't need to color within the lines,
For this is someone else's rule.
Barriers like these are made by man.
They don't build up your soul.
If you want to color the sky yellow,
But the instructions ay make it blue,
Use the color you like best.
It portrays most the person of you.
If others are doing the polka,
But you don't like that dance,
Move your body as you're led.
Don't miss out on this chance.
If you believe different than your mom,
Express your own views,
For what you feel inside
Is up to you to choose.
Don't be fear being your own person,
For it's what you're meant to be.
When you define what works in your life,
Your spirit can then be free.
