"...now is the best and the only time / To hear in your heartbeat your freedom chime"

To Live Free

Above all else it is best to live free
This does not mean that unregulated
State of the worldly ones segregated
From humankind and their humanity
Island-dwellers in denial gated
Behind a powerful state protected
From the rest of us claiming elected
Divine right into which can shine no light
While underneath them it is always night

No: to live free is to have dignity
No one who holds this also holds the whip
I would not a slave nor a master be
Both victims of the same dictatorship
Of cruelty beyond simplicity
For to live free is uncomplicated
Let all your chains fall and then you will know
I cannot tell you how it is to grow
No one can tell you: we can only show

That now is the best and the only time
To hear in your heartbeat your freedom chime

This is pure Steve at his best and speaks volumes of the nature of the world compared to the nature of man and the paths that are open to him/her.
