Got To Be Free

I have searched for god,

and he has searched for me.

I`ve been searching,

searching to be free.

Like a bird, on a wire,

like a log, on a fire.

smoke rising like me,

just trying to be free.

And satan,

riding my back.

tossing me to and fro,

looking for a place  

my soul can go .

But can`t you see,

I`m like the smoke

rising from the fire,

I just got to be free...

Well-said, WM, and great song selection...Leonard Cohen is quite the poet... we are all like bird on a wire at times... the key is to make sure we fly sometimes...

An open and honest write WM. That search should not clip our wings or constrain us. So if we find solace in faith it must not dominate and control our lives.
