someone wants you to think
this all is very ordinary
this wondrous life
all bound by simple explanation
categorization
and labeling you
for some kind of mental hell zoo

they want you to forget
to forget the great mystery
forget the strength that you are
forget the magic
that gets us through

someone wants
to control your mind
someone wants to
steal your heart
someone wants to
own you, herd you, put you in a box
in a hospital, in a treatment plan

even with a forced injection
even with a court ordered pill
even if they think you are over the hill
even if they say you are out of your mind
nothing, and i mean nothing
can come between you
and that yoke
to all that matters
all that has ever been
all that will ever be
all that is you
all that is me
all that is creator
all that is love

spirit lives on
spirit gets stronger
no matter how weak
you may appear to be
or how close your face
is pressed to the ground

some people turn to ghosts
stuck in ruts
of grooves of reality
going through repetitive motions
of hurting just about anybody

they try to choke
the life out of you

but it just isn't true
no matter what they do

for everything lost
you find a greater gift
for any hurt by anyone
turns around into medicine
for any time you are confined
this is when you learn
to free your mind

for resistance is strength
building up spirit muscle
nothing can break you

no matter how it appears
to anyone judging you
labeling you
confining you
defining you

while your face is
pressed to the ground
you fly
high


know this is true
no matter what happens to you
you will find
free and alive
and soon
nothing will harm you
nothing will be able
to keep you in a box
of any kind

they will fill your ears
with loops and troops
and prey on your fears
but you will know
that which hurts the heart
and tries to brings you down
are the lie

see right on through
this illusion of their power
they equate with weapons
and oil, gold and silver
and now big pharma

it is nothing to you
you who speaks truth
you who flies high
hawk eyes,
butterfly,
bluebird
you who knows
happiness
