Free

By Jomari Manzano, SJ
Easter Sunday 2008
Dedicated to all my students in Ateneo de Manila High School

I. It’s difficult to live the ordinary
The routinary time spent by the minute
It’s difficult to stand alone on stage
And have as our audience just our self

It’s difficult, yes it’s difficult
‘Coz often times we think
We’re alone
We live on our own.


Refrain:

Break free from yourself
You are not made ordinary
Set free your own ways
And live up to your destiny
Stand up and learn to walk
Take that road
That’s made for you (Repeat last two lines)


II. It’s difficult to spend our longest hours
Perform our tasks and roles unnoticed by others
It’s difficult to face our limitations
Life’s ups and downs that look without direction


It’s difficult, yes it’s difficult
‘Coz often times we think
We can’t change
Can choose no more. (REF.)


It’s difficult, yes it’s difficult
‘Coz often times we think.
