stoic mind - Epictetus Lyrics

Verse 1
In a world of chains and shadows
Where freedom seems so far
Lived a man who found the gallows
Yet shone just like a star

Verse 2
Bound by fate but not in spirit
His wisdom lit the way
For every word if we can hear it
Still guides us through the day

Chorus
He was the slave who found his freedom
In the depths of his own mind
With a heart so full of wisdom
He left the chains behind
In the silence of his knowing
He saw the truth so clear
In every moment ever growing
He cast aside his fear

Verse 3
Life's burdens tried to break him
But his soul remained so strong
For he knew the secret wisdom
Of where we all belong

Verse 4
He taught that what we suffer
Is not in our control
But how we face each buffer
Can elevate the soul

Chorus
He was the slave who found his freedom
In the depths of his own mind
With a heart so full of wisdom
He left the chains behind
In the silence of his knowing
He saw the truth so clear
In every moment ever growing
He cast aside his fear

Bridge
In every breath a lesson
In every step a chance
To live without oppression
In life's eternal dance

Chorus
He was the slave who found his freedom
In the depths of his own mind
With a heart so full of wisdom
He left the chains behind
In the silence of his knowing
He saw the truth so clear
In every moment ever growing
He cast aside his fear

Outro
So here we stand inspired
By the courage he displayed
In the wisdom he acquired
His legacy has stayed
