Born Free

I am Born Free

No price on my head

No job to worry about

No paying taxes

No commitments or obligations

I am Born Free

I have everything I need

Delicious food to eat,

Shelter from the storms

Clothes from the elements

I am Born Free

To this beautiful planet

The only planet I have

Place I call home

A place to live and die

I am Born Free

Free to dream

Free to live

Free to die

Free to just be me

I am Born Free

The only price I must pay

Is my blood at the end 

To help Mother Nature

To provide for others

I am Born free

Only to serve Mother Nature

One breath at a time

The true price to live free

I am the Phantom

I was born with a name

I married into another

Been given many labels and titles

But it's all the same. 

I am just the Phantom on this stage.

Some know me by one name

Some know me by another

but, when I leave this stage, 

    you all will forget all about me

    and simply become a Phantom.

I am a real person, 

    like you

        and you

But when you leave tonight,

I will just be a figment of your imagination

Substance of my being vanish in seconds

What? You don't believe me?

Then, say my full name?

Who am I? The Phantom

You look, but do not see me

You hear, but do not listen

You walk and simply pass by me

    Not even bother to say a polite, "Hi"

I am just a Phantom

    A social misfit

        an outcast

My full name is ____________________, not important.

You can simply call me the Phantom

My name is _______________________, not important

I will simply become the Phantom

when I leave this stage.

And be amongst all the other 

    nameless Phantoms

    that roams our beautiful planet. 

I am

    just the PHANTOM

THE TICKING CLOCK

 Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

It's time... Wake up!

Plenty of opportunities

and unknown possibilities 

are passing you by

every minute of the day.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

Stop!

Allowing

Doubt and fear

Keep you paralyze

From the wonders of today

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

Stop, STOP!

Passing everything on tomorrow

Tomorrow which might never come

Or eventually turn 

Into another disabling day

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

Stop, stop, STOP!

Singing the 

Should da, 

could da

would da song

and take a stand

Start with the simplest things:

Breathe in....

Breathe out...

Quickly!

Draw the covers back!

Step out of bed!

Now you are ready

To take charge

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

Go! Conquer your fears

Go! Suppress your doubts

Go! Rule the world

And never again forfeit your dreams

For another crippling tomorrow
