Ariel's+Anthem

In my anthem, I wanted to thouroughly portray how important it is to once in a while, step out of society to take a different persepective of the world around us and allow the mind a breath of pure truth and beauty. By releasing the societal stress of the same repititious schedule one can take a sort of transcandentalist view of the world around them and allow the truth of freedom to soak in while giving our souls a breath of fresh air.

I was dead, my little faith came forth at sunset the laws indeed were still oppressive on them which were wet from evening dew.

Truth can stand by itself and take the wings of morning Take me, lead me from my solitude of distaste at the stiff and regular process of the practical to freedom naturally consequent

Our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now if only, if only these dreams will make you feel brand new these truths will inspire you constraint may make him worse

The vortices have been exploded to find the truth I took the one less traveled

He must stand up against mankind that hid the brightening stars darkened by all the gloomiest It can never be discovered of the great tomb of man

How can we wish others to indulge it While we refuse it ourselves?

Wherefore ask who created it, so it be beautiful? It's been there all along In its perfect beauty, judge for yourself Those can only find it, once they have lost it

Sometimes one place, sometimes in another I wish they'd hurry Go forth under the open sky and search for what was once lost

Bursting into a fit of irrepresible mirth they flourish infinitely And that would be a pretty sight!
