It’s strange how freedom comes Alight on wings of sorrow Above the pall of hurt Thrown into all that’s new Yet that which is quickly gone Pulls hard within the heart Ties that were securely bound Stretch beyond their time As one by one they break The pain recoils within They leave me less than what I was Lighter, I float away
It’s strange how freedom comes As though in hopelessness it’s born Like a sparrow lost at sea That finds a log on which to ride Somewhere in this vastness is a place where I can rest Something that will take the place of all I left behind
