Crown me with jewels and I shall be free,
from vanity and pride, I shall be free.
Crush me under your feet and I shall be free,
from humiliation, I shall be free.
I shall fly with the wind
and settle with the rain
Hit me with your hammer
and I will feel no pain.
I shall not love the wind nor the rain.
I shall not hate your hammer nor the pain,
for I shall be free from bondage and hatred
Oh! so free! oh! so free! from freedom itself.
I feel the pain now but it still makes me happy,
for I move a step closer to that humility.
I might wince when you strike but please continue,
for I move a step closer to freedom and for that I love you.
