#5 People Got to Be Free (The Rascals) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that’s the way it should be
There’s peace in the valley, people got to be free🪄
You should see
What a lovely, lovely world this’d be
Everyone learned to live together, ah hah
Seems to me
Such an easy easy thing it should be
Why can’t you and me learn to love one another?🪄
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free)
I can’t understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free🪄
If there’s a man
Who is down and needs a helpin’ hand
All it takes is you to understand and
To pull him through, ah hah
Seems to me
We got to solve it individually, ah ah
And I’ll do unto you what you do to me
Said, no🪄
Hear the shoutin’ from the mountains on out to the sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free (they gotta be free)
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Natural situation for a man to be free🪄
Get right on board now, huh, huh🪄
Yeah oh, what a feelin’s just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody sing it now come on let’s go see
Peace in the valley now, we all can be free🪄
See that train over there?
Now that’s the train of freedom
It’s about to ‘rrive any minute, now
You know it’s been’a long, long overdue
Look out ’cause it’s a’comin’ right on through
Ha, ha, yeah, ha, ha, yeah

Letting Go of Limiting Illusions

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (known as: Lady Mallowan or DBE) (English Writer; September 15th, 1890 ~ January 12th, 1976)

“For some of us the thought of trusting a power outside ourselves to help make our dreams come true is definitely a threatening concept, especially if we’re used to being in control—or rather, used to the illusion of being in control.”

“This is a challenging idea, as I do not believe in a god/God. However, I do believe the universe has an energy within it that links us all to one another. Tapping into this is the key to “flow”. I strive to find my “flow” each and every day.” (Heather Houston 1-21-22 & 1-21-26)
