On Freedom By Khalil Gibran.
Lyrics...
And an orator said speak to us of
freedom and he answered a dusty gate and
by a fireside I have seen you prostrate
yourself in worship your own freedom
even as slaves humble themselves before
a tyrant and praised him though he slays
them in the crew of the temple and in
the shadow of the Citadel I have seen
the freest among you where the freedom
as a yoke and a handgun and my heart
bled within me for you can only be free
even even the desire of seeking freedom
becomes a harness to you and when yo
cease to speak freedom as goal and a
fulfillment you shall be free indeed
when you tease or not without a care and
all your nights with a wand and a green
but rather than these things girdle your
life and keep your eyes about them neat
and unbound and how cell you rise beyond
your days and nights and always to
breathe the caves which you at the dawn
of your understanding how fast in the
round
in truth that which you call freedom and
in the strongest of these change though
its links glitter in the Sun and has
blue eyes you what is it but fragments
even so you would scored that you maybe
can feel if it is an unjust law you
would abolish that law was written with
your hand in hand upon your own forehead
you cannot erase it by broadening your
law books now by washing the foreheads
of injects do you pour the sea upon them
and its despot you would be be thrown
Cephas that is shown directly the news
destroy how can it here include the free
and the proud but for a tyranny in their
own freedom and a shame in their own
pride and it is a care you cast off that
has been chosen by you rather than who
posed Barney
and if it is affair you would dispel the
senior of the fair is in your heart and
not
encrusted false embrace the desired
ended derivative as perished pursued and
that attuned asking
these things as lights and shadows
impale us that killing and when the
shadow fades and is no more the light
that languorous become a shadow to
another light and thus your freedom when
it loses its stutters becomes itself
fatter of a greater of freedom.
