Are You Free

SOMEONE ONCE ASKED IF I WAS FREE
MY INWARD RESPONSE WAS “I WANT TO BE”
BUT MY OUTSIDE REALITY SAID THIS WASN’T TO BE
THIS THING, THIS MINDSET OF BEING FREE
I FEEL LIKE DANIEL STANDING IN THE MIDST
CREATURES SURROUNDING ME CRAVING MY FLESH
SEEKING MY LIFE AS A TOKEN FOR THEIR JOY
SEEKING TO ENSURE THERE IS A ME NO MORE
AM I FREE, THAT IS THE BIGGEST QUANDRY
IS THIS PLACE OF FREE LOCATED INSIDE OF ME
I LOOK INTO MY MIND BUT WHAT’S THERE
IS A WHIRLWIND THAT DISTURBS THE AIR
ECHOS ALL AROUND SO THIS THING IS IMMENSE
TRAPPING ME IN A TIME WHERE NOTHING MAKES SENSE
AM I REALLY FREE, I WANT TO BE
I WANT TO LEAVE ALL THAT TRAPPED ME
I WANT TO PACK AND RUN AWAY
TO A MORE PEACEFUL TYPE OF PLACE
A PLACE WHERE GODS TRULY TALKS TO ME
THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE SETS ME FREE
I ROAM ALL OVER WITH NO LACK OF JOY
RETURNING TO THE INNOCENSE OF MY LITTLE BOY
AM I FREE, I WANT TO BE, LORD KEEP ME IN YOUR CARE
I’M TIRED OF BEING A PAWN IN CELESTIAL WARFARE
I MISS THE TIME WHEN ALL I KNEW
WAS THE HAPPINESS OF BEING WITH YOU
AM I FREE, WHO REALLY KNOWS
LIBERTY IS SOMETHING BORN IN OUR SOULS
EVEN IF THEY WANT US TRAPPED IN SIN
FREEDOM SHOUTS FROM WITHIN
AM I FREE, LORD LET ME BE
TAKE THE CHAINS THAT KILL MENTALLY
THROW THEM TO A PLACE SO DEEP
THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL BE TRAPPED IN MISERY
AM I FREE, MY TOMMOROW WILL TELL
AS I WALK AWAY FROM MY SELF IMPOSED HELL
TAKE MY SPIRIT AND KEEP IT CLOSE
AS I ATTEMPT AT JOY ONCE MORE
AS I REACH FOR A PEAK FEW PEOPLE SEE
ONE DAY I’LL STAND ATOP AND SHOUT, I AM FREE
