I plan to be

I'm frightened
To be enlightened
What will I tell my children
Better to play
Act a normal day
Control all that I am feeling

And if you think I'm wrong
That's ok
I have been before

And if you think I'm not strong
That's ok
It matters no more

Because you see
I plan to be
As free
As ignorance will let me

Better to stop the pain
Of the same
Undeniable condition

War, disease, famine
Every political position

It's more than I can take
For my children's sake.
It's the end of pain I'm seeking.

Better to play
Act a normal day
Control all that I am feeling

And if you think I'm wrong
That's ok
I have been before

And if you think I'm not strong
That's ok
It matters no more

Because you see
I plan to be
As free
As ignorance will let me
