I'm so free
Limbs and fingertips
Unsolicited
Free!
I raise my spirit from the last cold floor
And drop one burning key
Liberated!
Emancipated!
Rid of all the hands that closed in around,
And bound my unkempt heart and chest
And weighed my courage down
No more grazing my fine neck, you see!
Free!
As once I hoped to be
From the bruise on my head
To the blood on my bed
I am free! Just free!
So free!
Wholly, totally free
And recoiling no more,
From these chains I have shed!
Knocked the bolts from the door
Oh, remember me?
Timid
Little skittish old me?
Well I'm free
And so weightless
As no suppression could be
And so perfect
Just perfect
As perfect could be
Now I'm free!
In my voice
You can hear it
I'm free!
Fear it
Revere it
Oh, hear it
I'm free!
