Golden

after Jill Scott

I'm takin my freedom
Pullin it off the shelf
Putting it on my chain
Wearin it round my neck
I'm takin my freedom
Puttin it in my car
Wherever I choose to go
It will take me far

I'm livin my life like it's Golden

Livin for real
Feelin the healin freedom yields
Lettin my soul shine
Like it was designed
Lettin it be
Like it was meant to be
Totally Golden
and totally free

I'm givin up to the Gold
Givin up the ghost
Surrenderin to the Good
Lettin Love live the most
I'm starting to start
Trusting my Heart
and lettin me be

Joyfully me
Boy-o-Boyfully Me
My Best me
My Celestial me
My Strong, getting-along-singing-my-own-song me
My Wisest, bright-with-love-light-shining-out-of-my-eyes me!

I'm takin my own freedom
Puttin it in my song
Singin loud and strong
Groovin all day long
I'm takin my freedom
Puttin it in my stroll
I'll be hotsteppin y'all
Letting the joy unfold

I'm livin my life like it's Golden

Holdin nothing back
Lackin nothing but lack
Puttin Love in my backpack
and stayin on track

I'm throwin away my anger
That worn out piece of junk
Never did help me out all that much

I'm livin my own freedom
Thinkin it in my mind
Speakin it with my tongue
Movin it with my hands

I'm Singin every moment
Lettin my Heart shout out
Lettin my Spirit shine
After all, what else is mine?

I'm relishing my own struggle
Swishin it in my mouth
Listening to the spice
Nature tastes so nice

I'm takin my own freedom
Pullin it off the shelf
Wearin it round my neck
Being my true Self
I'm writing poems about freedom
Screamin them in the streets
Getting the good news out
Love's what it's all about!
I'm giving up all doubt
Puttin Love in my every breath, every step, every move, every mile
It's the only thing that's never goin out of style
What's that you say? Why the smile?
That's just my little way of celebrating
My own immortality
No death for me (thank you anyway)
From now on I'm Eternal
and I'm keepin it real
Being at Home
In my own bones
Alive with zeal
Being my Old Soul
Bold as Gold
Being Good as God
cuz that's just how I feel

I'm holdin on to my freedom
Can't take it from me
I was born into it
It comes naturally
I'm strummin my own freedom
Playin the God in me
Representin His glory
Hope He's proud of me

I'm livin my life like it's Golden
Livin my life like it's Golden
Livin my life like it's Golden
Livin my life like it's Golden
Livin my life like it's Golden
Golden
