Freedom?

 let me tell you something about freedom
so many people think that freedom is about getting independence
They're right to a degree because it is about having your own choice
They're right to a degree because its about hearing your own inner voice
They're right because its about being true to yourself
Because thats the start of where you need to stop to dwell

But the long story, it doesnt end there
Because it makes us selfish and life unfair
Because it creates the conditions of greed in our heart
Because that, its only the start

Freedom is the day you need to stop from doing what everybody wants
And stop from doing what pleases everybody else
And stop your own self from being false
This is where you living your own life starts.

And nobody needs to tell you to make your decisions
And nobody needs to tell you how you have to be
See theres norms out there that tell you how to act
Theres false information that is claimed to be facts

But we need to find something thats deep within us
Theres a voice of reason and its the only thing that will please us
The thing that will free us and it will sustain us
Its not collecting all the wealth in the world
Its not being better than everybody else

It is Allah's light that can only perfect us
Show us our purpose and why it was that He made us
The only thing that will put us to peace
Its when the only one we worry about is the Lord whom we must please

And that thing inside is always asking
Always seeking for something
Something that we can depend on
Something that will be with us from now on
A source so true that it will guide us
One that will guide whom we owe our dependence

And that place we find when we find Allah
And that place we find when we start to obey his law
When we put ourselves in the place he made for us
In peace and harmony for the purpose for which he created us.

That's the day we'll truly be free
Free to experience the life for which we should be
Free to grow, to learn to love
All of his creation
Is the day we reach submission

Submission to the will of God
Thats where the real journey will start.
A rope so strong it will never tear us apart.
Save us from the many tricks of shaitan
Save us from falling into wrong

To sail our boat through the vast ocean
And keep us sailing and prevent us from drowning
Keep us smiling and stop us from frowning
Make us dependant on our sole creater
The one in control, the one who is the maker
