Unshackled

The shackles have been removed
the door is open 
the vast immensity of the universe is now open
I stand at the threshold and look out
the air is pure, the sky is blue, it is a new day

Unshackled

I'm no longer that person tied up to the desk
tied to do one thing and one thing only
I'm no longer that shackled human
that meant to be free, and the breeze of the ocean
carries me forward destined to discover
new frontiers, new ideas, a new life

Unshackle

I will never be boxed-in again
nor worry about the hierarchy
or a reputation no more important
than my own.
My integrity is intact 
I've left on my own terms

I'm unshackle

Freedom at last, freedom at last
from the constraints of that horrible place
where some good memories were made
but most not. The spell has been broken
and the victory is mine, all mine

The shackles have been removed
from my head, heart and soul
ideas flow freely, love is infinite
the tastes in my soul are pure,
you cannot take that away

The vast immensity of the universe is now open
I stand at the threshold and look out
the air is pure, the sky is blue, it is a new day
filled with new hope, it is a new beginning




Unshackled - free at last!
