I can finally feel (everything)
What it’s like to be in the now
No worries haunting me

I can finally say
It’s getting better and better
I can be so proud of myself
—
Freedom
Freedom
I can finally feel it
All the worries that were there are gone for now

Freedom
Inside & Outside
All the worries that are still to come, I’m gone for now
—-
I thought the train kept leaving in front of me
Searching for the way for so long
Hanging through the jungle 

The heaviness had to go
The layers of coolness were in the way
The sentences can finally flow

And I feel it:

Freedom
Freedom
All the worries that were there are gone for now

Freedom
Inside & Outside
All the worries that are still to come, I’m gone for now

Who have I been in this life?

Have I lived and loved and given enough?

It’s not about me, it’s about the whole world.

Linda Rum

I’ve never been so deep
And swum so far out
I hope it stays this beautiful forever

I’ve never been so free
By the way I see it
And it feels so good to be able to see the depths

And finally I see the world clearly

And finally the truth can be told

And finally I don’t just see you from afar

And finally I feel my own love within me

And finally the door is open

And finally the voice can fly

And the hiding can vanish

And finally there is this vastness

And finally the heart is completely open

And love can come through

And when your eyes sparkle,

I feel your heart open

it lifts my heart, because at our core we are all love

Linda Rum

In love, standing tall

The wind just right your back

Long ago you’ve opened up your heart to love again

High five to all the goals

In life that you have won

You’ve never thought you’d rise above the highest mountain tops

Cold, cold, the coldest words

Won’t never bring you down

Your eyes full of dreams you feel the storms have finally gone

Hold on, hope will protect you from the dark

Every step will bring you closer to your heart

Cold, cold, the coldest words

Won’t never bring you down

Your eyes full of dreams you feel the storms have finally gone

And now you have arrived and live where you belong

Your eyes full of dreams you feel the storms have finally gone

Hold on hope will protect you from the dark

Every step will bring you closer to your heart

Linda Rum

You say: “Wow, how fast time flies.”

You can still see the worries clearly before you

And suddenly you’re in the present and completely free

And so happy that you get to make art

You say: “Wow, how quickly moments change.”

You say: “Yesterday you were still young and now somehow grown up.”

But deep down you know

That in your soul you’ll always remain who you’ve always been

And I know: Your love will never fade

Your art will endure

Your love will be seen

How wonderful that you’re sharing these words with us

You move on, thinking you’re too old

No longer fit the zeitgeist

And suddenly you’re in the present and completely free

And you feel that you are right, as the person you are

You tell yourself: “What’s the point?”

That you, of all people, are writing something

Among all the others

And suddenly you get A call from someone who loves you

And says, “Your world needs your song.”

You know: You never know the impact words can have

How wonderful that you’re sharing these lines with us

And I know: Your love will never fade

Your art will endure

Your love will be seen

How wonderful that you’re sharing these lines with us

You never imagined going through this depth

You never thought the mountain would lift

You had to go through tunnels, giants, and narcissists

With conformity, smiles, and all sorts of techniques

Perfection, procrastination, and self-forgetfulness

And suddenly you realize your voice is so important

And somehow, now you’re ready

After Hulk and all the giants

Who no longer frighten you

To continue on your path

And maybe someday tell your children about it

How important their voices are

You have no idea how much I long for I’ve been longing for your honest words

How wonderful that you’re sharing them with us
