Free Yourself

Love is here to set you free
But you insist on clinging
To people
To feelings
To moments gone

Love is here to set you free
But you want to own it
Control it
Buy it
Use it
Then throw it away and start again
Down a foolish path leading nowhere

Love is here to set you free
The door is open but you refuse to leave
The box you locked yourself in
Filled with prejudice and fears
Preconceived ideas
Idealized perception
Faltered sense
Of a feeling so pure, so free
Of hatred, jealousy, vanity
Ego, pride and greed

Love is here to set you free
If you would only
Feel instead of think
Open your heart courageously
Quiet the mind and allow the soul
To grow aware, compassionate
To care for those around you
To fill someone´s heart with a smile

Love is here to set you free
If you would only
Let go of expectations, selfishness
Accept the beauty around you
Cherish each moment as if it were your last
Let love guide you

Love is here to set you free
If you would only let it
