Ode To Be Free

The opportunity to be,
To really be and really see,
A little glimpse of how to grow,
To really grow and really know,
The things I had,
The things I lost,
The way it is,
The way it was,
Peeling back the layers small,
The layers big,
The layers all,
Underneath the clouds and mist,
I yearn for more than to exist,
When I can, I'll fly away,
Once on the wing, my heart will play,
Peace and joy are all around,
One day I know it's to be found,
A lust for life and love for me,
I'll take my life back and be free.
