Free
How I long to be free,
Free from all this pain and heartache,
Free from anger and doubt,
Finally able at last to breathe!
How I long to be free like the doves,
Happy and hopeful,
Singing their sweet songs of love,
Without a care in the world!
I wish that I could be free,
Free from sadness and sorrow,
To once again look forward to tomorrow,
And to have a heart filled with peace!
Mistakes are often made,
Because such is life,
But without the mistakes,
We might not recognize and appreciate the right!
