I am happy and calm.
I wonder if I'll experience freedom for once.
I hear promises never kept.
I see my desires far from reach.
I want freedom, I've waited long enough.
I am happy and calm.
I pretend I have my freedom away from burdens.
I feel stuck and empty.
I touch the water I yearn for.
I worry my freedom will never come.
I cry to shed this empty feeling.
I am happy and calm.
I understand I'll never see the shores of freedom.
I say look to the horizon of dreams.
I dream of long awaited desires.
I try to free myself of this pain.
I hope I'll be free from this emptiness.
I am happy and calm.
