[Country Ballad – Male Vocal] Verse 1: Bound, but still so free, I stand above the ground, Opposing every rule, where wisdom can be found. The Tree of Life, it shelters me in quiet grace, The Fates whisper softly – my destiny takes its place. Life flows like a river, and I’m its steady shore, I don’t fight the waves, I understand their roar. Sacrifice’s a calling, not a heavy chain, Where others see the dark, I find light through pain. Chorus: Hanging high, with a halo aglow, Wisdom and freedom in the winds that blow. Beyond the borders, outside the dream, I’m the mirror reflecting the unseen. Verse 2: Twelve – the cycle of time, the clock’s steady chime, Hours and months pulling us through life’s climb. But I stand beyond it – the circle’s my thread, The astral connection guides me instead. Good and evil pull my reins tight, Yet I hold the strings, with my spirit alight. I walk a path that’s far from the crowd, A voice of truth rising strong and proud. Chorus: Hanging high, with a halo aglow, Wisdom and freedom in the winds that blow. Beyond the borders, outside the dream, I’m the mirror reflecting the unseen. Bridge (reflective): The Tree is the root, tying me to the ground, Its branches reach for the skies unbound. Knowledge is the fruit, and sacrifice the climb, The truth’s a hidden treasure, beyond the sands of time. [Final] Chorus: Hanging high, with a halo aglow, Wisdom and freedom in the winds that blow. Beyond the borders, outside the dream, I’m the mirror reflecting the unseen. Outro (soft and reflective): Hanging here, but never undone, A rebel of the world, not bound by anyone. The Tree grounds my soul, it’s where I belong, The journey to forever’s been my path all along.
