What Makes You Free

Treasure deep in your heart

Every moment you are free,

Free to feel, free to laugh,

free to cry, free to be.

Store these treasured moments

Where no one else can see

So even when you're bound

You'll know what ought to be.

When you're trapped in heartbreak

Or pressed down to your knees,

You won't lose your freedom

If you've still got the key.

Sob in quiet places

Or giggle in wild glee.

You define your moments.

That is what makes you free.
