Freedom
by Josh Garrels

Album: Underquiet

Professional or beginner doesn't matter
Every sinner is a prisoner in a body that is subject to time
Now my entwined mind tries to form a straight line
Not like twisted scoliosis at the spinal chord construct
Cross eyed carpenters are caught in crooked lines
Can't construct man made shrines
when the winds and the water move the sands of time
Many minds on the deadline yet live life like a live wire
I'm not tired of blood and fire
Spirit's moving higher than the green grass ever lifted me
Spirit's moving higher than anything else ever lifted you
Say, we got spirituality living in us like a one and three
Injustice is concerning me in the non linear eternity
I'm speaking paradoxically
But you can nod your head now when you understand me

This is for my free men whose backs won't bend in the lion's den
With their eyes on the ending
This is for my free women they fight with their love the bearers of our children
Free men whose backs won't bend in the lion's den
With their eyes on the ending
This is for my free women they fight with their love the bearers of our children

We shine like lights exposing what lies underneath decomposing
Unearth old chains that are rusted o sweet Lord is that what I trusted in
That sin that tom foolery uh what it is,
is mental jewelry that I adorned myself with

The enemy's gifts the man made midst
The ignorant bliss of marijuana spliffs
And alcoholic fifths and I got really sick and tired of it
Delivered and redeemed by Christ I mean
It's time to start living and get a reason for the rhyme
I don't want to be dead wrong on the deadline
Standing on the dark side and all out of time
Like a blind pantomimes fanaticize climb up his own ladder to the sunshine
Nothing's mine that hasn't been given
And no one's alive now that ain't been risen
For 19 years I was trapped in a prison
Feenin my escape by a means of derision
But every man made escape just failed
when trapped in a jail of my own guilt, shame, and iniquity
I was looking for freedom
How'd I find freedom, oh freedom from all of this,
He said believe, He said believe
Who are you telling me to believe,
Said, “I'm the Christ, Said, “I'm the Christ
So I believed, freedom
