Unchained Mind



It seems just like yesterday...
On the play ground you and I...
With out wings we used to fly...
Children of free spirit...
Tossing pebbles on the ground...
Chatted with the wind...
Gossiped the rain...
Kissed the red moon...
Laughed at the sun...

This ideal world of ours...
Where butterflies played angels...
We used to dine with monsters...
Reality on the pause...
We were animated puppets...
Blood was just a color...
To seal down our promises...
We really did it my friend...
Invincible, we came undone...
Lost in our imagination...
We escaped to the unknown...

What happened to us now my friend?
How come tears are not made from milk?
Stone after all is not bread...
Death is not a hide and seek...
When did we come back to this side?
Face to face in the core of pain...
Where loss is loss and gain is vain...
Weed is not a plant but a prison...
How come everybody is weeping?
And laughter is on the waiting?
Is this what it means growing up?
Choking the body with out hope?



Let us come undone now my friend...
Fly away to the ideal...
Fear them not who hurt the body...
Cause they can not destroy our soul...
They can beat and shake us down...
Put shackles around our feet...
But freedom is a state of mind...
They can never rape our heart...

Please take my hand and come undone...
Before we reach bitter climax...
Escaping to the unknown...
Is insanity at its best...
Sit on the Moon, fly to Mars...
Hug Jupiter if we will...
Make love to delirium...
Let go off our pain for a while...

Let us not cry it out...
Some hardship deserves neglect...
The soul needs to relinquish...
When anger shivers the heart...
We can be what we want to be...
Animation has so much choice...
Imagination is powerful...
When the mind gets the chance...
Go to heaven debate our case...
Sit at the round table of gods...
Make friends with supreme angels...
Even shake the hands of Jesus...
Though freedom veiled from the eyes...
When we come undone for once....
A mind unchained....
Can break loose.....

Let us come undone now my friend...
Fly away to the ideal...
Fear them not who hurt the body...
Cause they can not destroy our soul...
They can beat and shake us down...
Put shackles around our feet...
But freedom is a state of mind...
They can never rape our heart...

We can ride on a Dinosaur....
Fly joyfully to comet...
Flirt with the fiery sun...
Dance around the orbit...
If the stars are kind enough...
We can shine with them every night...
Let our body rot in hell...
Freedom is a state of mind...
