<br />
Love thy neighbor as thyself<br />
Has to be the most violated commandment<br />
And I know how you need love<br />
Bound and silenced for so long<br />
While you did what others needed from you<br />
Now you’ve left what once was yours<br />
<br />
When the pressures lift around you<br />
And you’re all alone<br />
You can finally find a way<br />
When some mercy comes upon you<br />
And your pain has flown<br />
I hope you’ll hear me when I say<br />
<br />
When you are free, when you are free<br />
You can leave your past<br />
When you are free<br />
When you are free, when you are free<br />
Your love for you must last<br />
When you are free<br />
<br />
When you’re working for so long<br />
Shutting off the calling of your heart’s desires<br />
It can pull you from yourself<br />
When you push and strain so hard<br />
That your limbs are numb and the pain is empty<br />
It can leave you feeling lost<br />
<br />
Change is coming, that is certain<br />
Though is has been long<br />
You know there must be more<br />
Scatter all your self before you<br />
And you’ll see you’re strong<br />
There is so much to explore<br />
<br />
When you are free, when you are free<br />
You can leave your past<br />
When you are free<br />
When you are free, when you are free<br />
Your love for you must last<br />
When you are free<br />
<br />
Falter farther forward<br />
Feeling for emotion<br />
Finding sound foundations, leaving agony<br />
Banished but unbroken,<br />
Bending, seeking balance<br />
Hold your soul tight, give it light, and let it see<br />
Let it see<br />
<br />
When you are free, when you are free<br />
You can leave your past<br />
When you are free<br />
When you are free, when you are free<br />
Your love for you must last<br />
When you are free</div>
