Freedom, oh freedom I was longing for you
Sitting alone in the dark, feeling so blue.
Pretending to be someone I didn't even know.
Stopping me from ever being able to grow.
Freedom, oh freedom what a crazy concept to think about.
I have been working hard to find you, feeling almost burnt out.
I was worried I will never find you, feeling empty inside.
I felt like staying in the dark, which was my only place to hide.
Freedom, oh freedom consistency was the key.
I finally found you which made me strong like a big oak tree.
No more the nice girl that became clear to me.
A strong girl all the way, as far as the eye can see.
Freedom, oh freedom finally you were mine.
This girl was no more standing on the sideline.
My people-pleasing life is in the past now that is for sure.
There is no single challenge I cannot endure.

You're still a nice girl
But now you've learned to be true to yourself and share who you really are with the world, unashamed, instead of denying yourself to appease others. And anyone who says that isn't nice just wants to control you + clearly isn't nice hizzorherself! Stay strong & fly free, Sis...

An anthem to freedom (from the LOLA album) that got me thru the 1970's:
