Freedom By The Years lyrics

In a youth dependant

It is so very small, so told

In a teen transgressant

Lesser still, though more bold

Worry's chains by peer pressed

Keep and conform the self within

So made by changes manifest

Wanting to be, close by..chagrin

Success would bear freedom so

Yet to be an example, discipline

That a medicrity does not show

Folly mistook as liberty's kin

But now the years have progressed

And all that was so important then

Has fallen away, greedily possessed

Never to be returned yet again

The freedom by the years gone

Is revealed in aged heart and mind

In this separation all is made one

And wisdom's heirarchy is kind
