  • You Can Still Be Free

    Song Lyrics on Allspirit

    Savage Garden

    Cool breeze and autumn leaves
    Slow motion daylight
    A lone pair of watchful eyes
    Oversee the living
    Feel the presence all around
    A tortured soul
    A wound unhealing
    NO regrets or promises
    The past is gone
    But you can still be free
    If time will set you free

    Time now to spread your wings
    To take to flight
    The life endeavor
    Aim for the burning sun
    You’re trapped inside
    But you can still be free
    If time will set you free
    But it’s a long long way to go

    Keep moving way up high
    You see the light
    It shines forever
    Sail through the crimson skies
    The purest light
    The light that sets you free
    If time will set you free

    Sail through the wind and rain tonight
    You’re free to fly tonight
    And you can still be free
    If time will set you free
    And going higher than mountain tops
    And go high the wind won’t stop
    And go high
    Free to fly tonight
    Free to fly tonight

  • The time has come…

    By Rumi

    the time has come
    to break all my promises
    tear apart all chains
    and cast away all advice

    disassemble the heavens
    link by link
    and break at once
    all lovers’ ties
    with the sword of death

    put cotton inside
    both my ears
    and close them to
    all words of wisdom

    crash the door and
    enter the chamber
    where all sweet
    things are hidden

    how long can i
    beg and bargain
    for the things of this world
    while love is waiting

    how long before
    i can rise beyond
    how i am and
    what i am

    Ghazal 1591 Translated by Nader Khalili
