Control

One way to find
One reason to climb
To be who you are
Let go of the farce
One way to know
The place in your soul
Worth giving a damn
And feel what you can
One way to know
One way to show
One chance to grow
And let loose of control


Find it now
Like you found it then
Find what's lost
Let the freedom in
Show yourself
You can truly be
Better than anything
You can't see
You can't see
What it means
What it means to me
For you to be
Free from me
I'm not holding you
Back anymore
Things have changed
From how they were before
I am not what you want me to be
I am now a better form of me
I'll show you there is


One way to find
One reason to climb
To be who you are
Let go of the farce
One way to know
The place in your soul
Worth giving a damn
And feel what you can
One way to know
One way to show
One chance to grow
And let loose of control


I have the time to show
I have all that I know
I have a feeling
Deep within my soul
Now that I've let go
Of what I used to be
Of all I used to see
The way I felt
Towards myself
The way I would act
Toward the ones I care about
The way I'd react
While I'd hide me from
Everyone who cared
And all that were there
It's all gone now
I have found


One way to find
One reason to climb
To be who you are
Let go of the farce
One way to know
The place in your soul
Worth giving a damn
And feel what you can
One way to know
One way to show
One chance to grow
And let loose of control


It's time to remember
All We've forgotten
It's time to remember
All that's gone rotten
It's time to open
The doors of our soles
It's time to let loose
Let loose of control
It's time to let loose
Let go of control


One way to find
One reason to climb
To be who you are
Let go of the farce
One way to know
The place in your soul
Worth giving a damn
And feel what you can
One way to know
One way to show
One chance to grow
And let loose of control


Let go
Let loose
Free yourself
Let go of control
Let loose
Set yourself free
Let go
Let go
Let go of control

So true of freedom, and

So true of freedom, and reminds me of the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti on 'freedom'. He says one never knows true freedon until one has been a slave. It rang true with me, as for too many years being a slave to what others wanted me to be, instead of feeling free enough to blaze my own trail and learn who I am in relation to the world around me. Freedom much easier said than done, and yet my example has set so many others free without my even realizing.

 

This will also be a nice tune....in fact, I hear it already... *smile*

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
