Alone - Just my Freedom and me

  (Lyrics by Abigayle 1977)  

 

At last I've reached my mountain top;

the place I've yearned to be....

With the pain and sorrow far behind,

my eyes at last can see.  

 

I see the greed and jealous ways

of people far below.

I see them living from day to day,

and I wonder, "do they know?" 

 

Can they imagine...how I=m feeling,

sitting on my perch so high?

Does anybody share my dream,

or was I meant to fly....  

 

alone, untouched by those below,

no longer asking why....

The soothing peace of knowledge gained;

at last I've learned to fly!

 

I know the cost of freedom now...

removed from life=s cruel game;

intolerance for those who don=t,

and no one else to blame.

 

My lofty but lonely position in life

is just where I wanted to be.

But now that I=m here....My fate becomes clear...
