You say you are free;  
Yet you are bound  
To pleasure,  
To hate,  
To the opinions of your peers\.

I say I am bound;  
Yet I am free  
For service,  
For love,  
For submission to the will of my God\.

And in this my bound liberty,  
I am far more free  
Than you are  
In your liberated bondage\.
