Breaking Free

Breaking Free  

Caught up in life quite mundane
Searching for true happiness, finding only pain
I’m forced to live where I can not be me
I wish I could just break free

Competition everywhere for which I don’t care
It’s not true that I can not dare
The joy of life robbed to prove our ability
I wish I could just break free

We fight for a nickel, we fight for a dime
We fight for space and for time
We fight for imaginary boundary
I wish I could just break free

In the past has been waged many a war
Many a time not knowing what we fight for
So inhuman, cruel and gory
I wish I could just break free

I dream of a land peaceful and serene
Unpolluted, calm, pure and clean
Living a life which produces no debris
I wish I could just break free

Drinking from streams which are crystal clear
Wandering about anywhere without any fear
Verdant expanses of land with many a fruit tree
I wish I could just break free

Lying under the moonless sky gazing at stars
Or at the full moon with all its scars
Late into the night till it all becomes bleary
I wish I could just break free

It’s beautiful though with all the strife
With what’s amiss if accept life
With whatever there is if we agree
It’s not in the future, we are already free.
