Rise and Breathe

Rise and take breath of newly found freedom.

Rise and take breath as those weighted shackles are gone.

Chains made of the heavyest stone are broken lost to you now are you rise.

Finally there is light.

Finally there is air.

Finally you can breath.

Freedom has been granted and given freely.

It asks no payment only that you take this chance.

Finally there is a shift, a chance.

The world holds new light to be grasped.

Softly glowing the light shines and finally you can rise and breathe.

Like the sun shining through branches of a tree full in spring,

the flowers start to bloom and grow spreading their leaves to face the sun.

Take your sun and cherish the light it gives you.

Pure and protecting you can reach the world finally free.

so, take breath and rise into your new world as finally,

you are free.
