Free to choose
Like a slave in chains
Choose anything you can
And while the demons laugh and taunt
A fire burns inside.
Trees put down
Right there to see
Freedom must be worth a lot
And as the serpent weaves his lies
They mostly hold to truth
But a small thing turns water into coffee
And medicine into poison.
I chose wrong a thousand times
And the blows that followed have left me dumb
Except that I am writing this
But don’t know what to say.
I have never quite believed
Just how big a choice could be
And how could it still matter so?
And why is choosing ever here?
Yet for Freedom are we set free
And yet elusive may it seem
But wanting to make sense of it
Is part of who He made me be.
