Let's Get Free (Remember Me As a Time of Day cover)

by Amani O+

about

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

lyrics

Get Free
For the babies.
We cant do this again gods
We cant,
-its not fair. They deserve kindness.
I held a baby last night,
-they deserve kindness
The heavy kind,
-that has personality and sweet eyes
More than mush and coos
a person who deserved kindness.
and we cant cultivate what we dont make time for
We too busy for kindness,
for compassion
for empathy and patriarchy doesn't encourage selfness or love
it sees softness as a negativity
But how could anyone ever care about your racist state of living
About the reality of your abuse if they haven't been taught compassion
Oneness
Kindness is oneness,
Is the golden rule
Is the void going back into the into itself
Back into the totality that you are
Its what long days and not enough money robs you of
Its what acts of power and domination can steal off you
And leave you feeling,
not at all liberated
Lets Get free gods
Lets be courageous
Help me help you help me get free
Let's runaway and come back for the family
For the block the neighborhood community
And capitalism doesn't encourage kindness
It grows clones
But we cant cultivate more of what we dont make time for
In need Dreamers
We too busy for dreaming
Exhausted for new songs and
Too drained for difference for hope and capitalism dont allow that
When time is money
Well Neighbors are nobodies
They dont get you paid
Get you laid
Get you jayed whatever your value system is
We too busy to rewrite it
We too tired
Too 9-5 grinded out
Lets get free
Lets make 7 min to dream
To ultralight beam
To skyrocket
Lets just stop it
And start a new
Help me help you help me
see through
The cosmic and cellular monotony we are all going thru
The same motions
-to master and remember who we are
Made of stars
The most beautiful and bizarre
But beneath it all one
Far more in common than un
Diverse descriptions
Partial prescriptions to the illness of separatism
We are of the same composition
If there is god
Well how they not be everywhere
Like right here
And everywhere
And in you
And lurking behind my eyes
Playing you in disguise
How could you be anything but mine
We are one
Define the difference
And if there is no god
Well
we are of the same damed composition
Find me a difference
Descendants of the same stars
Cosmic explosions
And Erosion of everything that should make you afraid of me
Remember?
Where we come from
Who we are
Erosion of everything that should make you afraid of me
Well i prefer the in between that i am just pondering
That we know everything and nothing simultaneously
Remember?
Who we are
Let's get free Star
Let's float
Let's dream
Imagine
Paint new dances
Sculpt new stanzas
Let's get free
I held a baby
Last night
The heavy kind
Who walked a little
Talked a little with personality and sweet eyes
And they deserve kindness
Let's get free
For the babies
Let's get free
We can't do this again. It isn't fair.
Let's get free
Dont wait another minute. They turn into years. Let's get free.
Right now. This is desperate. This is a plea.
Let's get free
I am naked. You are me.
Let's get free.
Loving kindness is the key
Dream with me
Dont be scurred
Its absurd all you have but to find is yourself
In your beauty
In your ugly
In Your entirety
Lets get free
We have nothing to lose but the bonds of emotional slavery
Lets get free ,Paint with me
Because you ARE the baby
And you deserve kindness
Loving
Start with me
And let that love ripple in every direction in every reflection
Lets get free
In every deflection from yo destiny
Lets get free
And be
Love
Creativity
Dream
Get free with me
Be kindness be good to thee
Make time
For what could be of more importance?
