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...

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"


these lines from the song... do you ever ask for too much, or should we ask for more...in the search for freedom is there ever too much...i often wonder what limits should exist...

[wordman]

Great write friend.
Nevertheless, I'm a slave.
A slave to living everyday.
