I grow ever nearer freedom
As my Self fades away
Those things that I cannot destroy
My love shall, in a day
The bounds that once wrapped round me
Slow and slow they fray
One by one the knots shall burst
I've no debts left to pay
Then, shaken from their binding ropes
Unfurl feathers of gray
And I, on wings, escape the world
Sail on into the day
As my Self fades away
Those things that I cannot destroy
My love shall, in a day
The bounds that once wrapped round me
Slow and slow they fray
One by one the knots shall burst
I've no debts left to pay
Then, shaken from their binding ropes
Unfurl feathers of gray
And I, on wings, escape the world
Sail on into the day
