Priorities

This is one for my friends who were always proud of who they were and never hid behind the ideas that society has for young people. There's no greater gift than the truth that we're all beautiful.

Breathe in your light

Breathe out my concentration

One look at that smile

Give in to the liberation

 

We are all born free

Some choose to stay, most choose to be

Someone else, part of a machine

But you, you set me free

 

Hear you play guitar

Block out the negativity

Feeling so safe

Everything becomes relativity

 

We are all born free

Some choose to stay, but most are forced to be

Someone else, part of a machine

But you, you set me free again

And you,

You are my best friend

i like the positiveness and sweetness of this. the second stanza reads slightly awkwardly because of it's DDED scheme, but other than that.
