We used to watch the raindrops
Cling to the window
With all the strength they could muster
Asking to be tied down
Rather than surrendering to the
Freedom to fly away with the wind
And you traced their quiet journey
To the bottom, to splash on to puddles gathering beneath
Smiling at the thought of being as free
As free as a raindrop
that chooses to stay
As free as a heart
that doesn’t let go
As free as a mind that
sticks to old-fashioned ways
As free as a dove that
flies back in to cage
And as you watched the raindrops
I couldn’t help feeling sad
To break your bubble and tell you
That no one is ever free
So I whisper ‘freedom is an illusion’
And you don’t hear me
Or you pretend not to
