FREEDOM.

why seek to force your rules on me,
And why should / set bounds for your
The joys | find you may not see
Along the pathways I pursue
Let me be free to go my way,
And you find joy as best you can
As long as we may truly say
We work no wrong to any man.
Be happy, and let me be glad,
You in your way and | in mine;
And let the mad world deem us mad,
And let the little dogs go whine!
Let me he happy in my way,
And you find joy as best you can;
Be tragic, il you please, or gay,
So that you wrong not any man.
