Wandering Freedom
Everything is lawful,
And I can do anything;
But not all things are useful,
Through pleasure that it may bring.
So I can do anything,
But not all helps me to grow;
No wisdom that it could bring,
For what may be good to know.
Eat anything that is sold,
With no need to be concerned;
If you trust what you are told,
By a firm that has not learned.
Let no one to seek his own,
Without seeking his neighbor;
And helping him to atone,
Before doing your own labor.
Then invite him to the feast,
Show him what his true worth;
As Christ returns from the east,
Reclaiming all of the earth.
