How can I explain the freedom
Our love has given us;
Freedom to be ourselves
Without  pretense or a fuss.

Into each others' eyes we gaze
And see a wonder there
That transcends the whole wide world
With a trust so rare.

It’s a freedom we cant’ hide
And threatens those in chains,
Who can’t understand our love
And must tolerate their pains.

So, we just live in patience
And endure this time apart,
Knowing we have this freedom
That comes only from the heart.
