Lyrics
Freedom Is Now
(words and music Roy Jones)
Freedom is now
A pure bright mirror
The mind and the land
Rage makes a prison
The key's in your hand
The passage to calm appears instantly
Joy is a palace
The heart is the key
There's a room that's a prison
In the Palace of Joy
There's a Palace of Joy
In the Prison of Rage
We build our own palace
Each moment in time
Suffering or happiness
Our actions decide
Freedom lives
In the moment
Past and future meet
Right now
The core of our being
Is wise and profound
In palace or prison
The truth can be found
Faith in your power
Can open the door
To a Tower of Treasure
A Wonderful Law
We repeat the cycle
Of birth and death
Secure on the earth
Of innate enlightenment
Our colour of mind
Drives the car of our life
Faith and exertion
Bring visible gain
Freedom lives
In the moment
Past and future meet
Right now
Cause and effect
Arise together
Wonderful Law
Freedom is NOW
We each have appearance
Which makes us believe
We are separate, constant
Detached from the weave
The pattern of life
Shows potential to shine
With great courage and wisdom
That's both yours and mine
One mind, one thought-moment
One cause and effect
Mental, physical, social
And environment
Our power to influence
Springs from inside
A pure bright mirror
The land and the mind
Freedom lives
In the moment
Past and future meet
Right now
Cause and effect
Arise together
Wonderful Law
Freedom is NOW
Freedom is NOW
Freedom is NOW
Freedom is NOW!
