There are a wide variety of freedoms; whether if it’s to break away from drug addiction or government suppression. On a general scale, the one element all these types of freedoms share is the need to survive – however that may be.
Quotes on freedom
Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibleness.

I walk in circles but I’ll never figure out
What I mean to you, do I belong

And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again
I need your love
I need your time
When everything’s wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love
