Oh, to feel, the love

The moon is rising
on a muggy night;
I walk home
underneath its light.
The approaching autumn
rustles my hair
and I wonder,
are you still there?

I often struggle, I often wonder.
In fact, I will admit I long to feel something,

to maybe hear something,
to know if you're there.
On a night, such as this one,
I feel certain that I would feel you.

I've got everything I want,
I've got everything I need. I’ve got everything
but I don't feel free
and I long to be.
I just want someone to set me free,
free as a bird in the sky,
free, unafraid to die.

There's just something missing,
it's freedom.

But where does the freedom come from?

I look to you, or look for you,
and I think that will set me free,

but I don’t feel free.

It's always the same
at the end of the day;
I take in so much pain
and feel no release.
I'm tied to the ground
by my own troubled mind.

I just can't seem to get any freedom from it;
I feel like I'm trapped, like a caged bird,
that flies around and around, but cannot seem to be free.

I don't know how much more I can take;

I mean there is freedom, right?

It's like I'm running and running, but there's no escape.

My heart has begun to mimic my mind,

to be full and heavy.

I have a picture of freedom, of life, in my mind,

but I cannot seem to grasp it.

I feel like I'm reaching and reaching and trying to grab on to it,

 but I can't.
As I walk in this night,

 I long to feel something,

this freedom, can you give it to me?

What does this freedom look like?

Just like a sailor gazing up at the stars
I'm studying the sky
I can't take my eyes off of it.
All the power of this miracle
is inside of every living thing
and like a sailor being guided home
I know just where to go;
this boat is on a course
heading straight for the harbor
of your love.
No matter how long it takes,
I am following the stars
and I'm feeling the love,
being free in the love.

Colossians 1:9-10

⁹ For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,^{[a] 10} so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
