I don’t need permission

From Anyone but me

To create a world inside my head

Permission to be free

My brother’s not my keeper

But it took some time to see

That I don’t need permission

For he doesn’t hold my key

I don’t need permission

From those who disagree

They’re merely standing stones

Down my river that runs free

There’s no need to make them

View life just how I do

I’ll let them walk their own path

While setting in my own life true.
