They Can't Take Away your State Of Mind

THEY CAN'T TAKE YOUR STATE OF MIND


A feeling of appreciation as we wake every day
With the unlimited things that we can do
Places we can go, or what we say
All because of freedom in what ever we choose

But some places in the world that's not the case
They suppress the written word
They control what you say and do
Of which of course is absurd

Lets take this one step further
And this I believe is the truth
It doesn't matter where you live
Or if you take a stand of being aloof

They can take away your freedom
They can tell you how and where to live
They can stop you from reading, or writing, or speaking
Except what they give

But they can't take away your mind or beliefs
Of that I'm sure
Because what is deep down in your soul
Well, that always remains pure

They can not destroy your will
Unless you give it away
And for the rest of eternity
In your mind and soul, free will, will be displayed
