lyrics

Freedom, everybody, now I’m free from
Freedom, my skies are sunny, no more re-runs
Freedom, I’m so glad for this freedom (Thank you Jesus)
Freedom, I’ve got it, and you can have it too

I was on the ground, all cold and shivering
Crying all alone, sitting in my misery
I heard a noise, and so I turned to see
A bright light, and a man speaking to me
He said, your burden is heavy like a boulder
I can come and take it off your shoulders
If you just sit here, you’ll just get colder
Why don’t you come and be my soldier?
Man, I don’t understand, who is this guy?
Coming up to me and talking to me in disguise?
How did he make that bright light to blind my eyes?
Do I run, do I stay? Man, what do I say?
I know I’m burdened, but I can manage my own
Yeah, that’s true, I don’t need someone telling me what to do
Doesn’t he know who I am, how does he know what I need?
But then again, was he saying I could be set free?

And so I just continued to sit there
I was half angry, and half scared
I was froze and didn’t know what to do
But then I heard him speak again and his words were true
You are lost, mixed up, and messed up
I think it’s time that you fessed up
I can give you rest son, and then you’ll see
What it means to be set free
Could this possibly be what it seemed to be?
He says I can be free, but is it guaranteed?
What happens if I give it a try and nothing happens
I guess the worst is I’ll go back and…
Nah man, why would I go back to where I was?
Feelin like I was, not feelin the love
Maybe I should just give it a try? And then
My tears dried up, and I stood up, man I felt so alive

Jonek is an oldschool rapper.
He has been around for a looong time, but for some reason he's still kickin' it. He's more interested in being your friend than you loving his music, so come on over. I make a... ahem, I mean, he makes a great Chai Latte.
