freedom.

“ To live in an old shack by the sea 

(And breathe the sweet salt air) 

To live with the dawn and the dusk
the new moon and the full moon
the tides the wind and the rain

To surf and comb the beach
and gather sea shells and drift-wood
and know the  t h r i l l  of  l o n e l i n e s s
And lose all sense of  t i m e
And be  f r e e

To hike over the island to the village
and visit the marketplace
and  e n j o y  the music and the food and the people
and do a little trading
and see the great ships come and go

And in the evening
(When the sky is on fire)
heaven and earth become my great open cathedral
where all men are brothers
where all things are bound by law
and crowned with  l o v e
Poor, alone and  h a p p y
I walk by the surf
and make a fire on the beach
And as darkness covers
the face of the deep
lie down in the wild grass
And  d r e a m  the dream that the dreamers dream

I am the wind, the sea, the evening star
I am everyone,  a n y o n e , no one. ”
