Free To Be Me

So I keep having these recurrent dreams,

Where I’m dancing in the rain,

Or I’m running through a field of sunflowers,

Or I’m skydiving over the Caribbean seas,

Where I’m just free, free to be me.

 

Do you ever wonder?

Are we really free? Or are we still slaves?

Slaves to our fears,

Slaves to our toxic thoughts,

Slaves to the opinions of others.

 

When will we start walking in freedom?

When will we start living like we’re free?

In the freedom God provided for us.

In the freedom we were created for.

In the freedom our forefathers fought for.

 

The truth is, freedom is a daily choice.

A daily choice to face our fears courageously.

A daily choice to fight the lies in our mind with the truth.

A daily choice to live out our dreams despite the haters.

It’s a daily choice to be authentically you!
