I often thought,I often dreamed how it would be--
And yet I never thought I'd be--
Once again.
Free!
But when you come to think of such things,
A man should have the rights that all others--
Can you imagine what it will be like when I am--
Can you see me?
Can you see me as a Roman with my head unbowed?
Sing it good and loud!
Free!
<..snip..>
Why, I'll be so consciencious that I may vote twice!
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
When I'm free to be whatever I want to be,
Think what wonders I'll accomplish then!
When the master that I serve is me and just me--
Can you see me being equal with my countrymen?
Can you see me being Pseudolus the citizen?
Can you see me being--give it to me once again--
Free!

One of my greatest theater experience was watching Whoopi Goldberg on the Broadway revival of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to a Forum. Our classics department organized this trip to NYC. I went with Sabina and some other friends.
We were sitting on the third floor, way up and way in the back. But I was mesmerized, and fell in love with the soundtrack.
I finished my last paper of my MBA today. And suddenly I feel free.
Free, free, I am free. Couple of night's of sleep, and I'll again be me.
