Taking a risk Freedom Is like swimming in the ocean Riding a motorbike on the motorway Rolling down a snow-capped mountain Joining a protest to topple a dictator Smashing the desk over your boss’s head Adrenaline surges through your veins A different kind of air rushes into abandoned rooms The lungs swell Like two balloons that have waited a long time to fly We fly... we soar And the higher we rise The greater our fear But it is a refreshing fear The companion of those who wish To live freely.
