FREE not free

FREE not free

I'm FREE not free, floating in my own mind

Touching my inner stars

Drifting on my mental skies

Watching the ground get smaller as I soar even higher

Bobbing my head to my visual sound track

My spiritual cockpit seat vibrates with the beat as I fly

Far away from where they can touch me

Losing myself so they can't find me

Free from their perceptions of deception

Riding with only my exceptions

I climb higher on my pride as I make my get away

I'M FREE not free, no price ever printed on me

Neither can my life be taken

Even if I'm murdered my soul will still escape

Lies can be made up about me yet the truth can't be replaced

Because my FREEDOM was always mine

And real FREEDOM is always FREE

For me it's forever free nor could they steal my liberty

My destination is my own but you can fly along side me

Piggy back on my momentum

draft my speed to go a little faster

I share my compass with you so we all can be FREE

BE FREE never just free, control your own trip of life

Throw that GPS out the window and follow you map within

Find what you call FREEDOM, and fault it from beginning to end.
