Analysis of Living Free...



Nobody wants to walk with you,
diggin up dirt to look at your roots,
everyone always wants to see the bloom.

So it is with whats yours that cant be seen,
to dig up the past,
no one wants to see the unclean.

Yet if you take the root,
wash it with water,
its as white as the snow.

Take the Holy Spirit with you,
 to clean the dirt off your roots.

Find peace thats meant to be,
then others will see,
how you're living free...
