The Laugh of Freedom

The original lyrics of this song began "I'm looking for a lady to share my empty bed…" I wrote new lyrics that went: "I'm looking for my Freedom of the night turned into Day…" But in the Great Rediscovery, these words came to me:

          Total Freedom,
               I see nothing but
          Total Freedom
               Shining night and day.
     
          Perfect Fredom,
               Now, nothing but
          Perfect Freedom
               And Love is here to stay.
     
          Oh, Iwas so caught up
               In this drama all around...
          But then i'd had enough
               And i listened to the sound
          Of my pure Heart
               Singing ceaselessly...
          And I died and I woke up
               And could see
          That this life is just a flowing
               Of magic and mystery.
     
          And I laugh the LAUGH!
               And shed tears
          In Total Freedom.
               This blissful
          Total Freedom
               Has just washed me
                    Clean away!
