Dervish
A dervish or darvesh (from Persian: درویش, Darvīsh via Turkish,Somali: Daraawiish, Arabic: درويش, Darwīš) is someone treading a Sufi Muslim ascetic path or "Tariqah", known for their extreme poverty and austerity. His focus is on the universal values of love and service, deserting the illusions of ego to reach God. In most Sufi orders, a dervish is known to practice dhikr through physical exertions or religious practices to attain the ecstatic trance to reach Allah. Their most common practice is Sema which is associated with Rumi.

Quite Free
by: TravisThere's a boy I know so well
He hides inside his padded cell
And he can see that he will never be quite free
He takes his time, steps carefully
There's a girl I see sometimes
She hides behind a dirty mind
And she can see that she will never be quite free
She takes her time, steps carefully
Free to make your mind up
Free to choose your fate
Free to hold your hand up
Free, don't leave me standing in the way
'Cause I like you and I'd like to
Be free, be free, be free, be free
[Incomprehensible]
There's a place I know so well
To escape my tired spell
'Cause we can see that we will never be quite free
To take our time, step carefully
Free to make your mind up
Free to choose your fate
Free to hold your hand up
Free, don't leave me standing in the way
'Cause I like you and I'd like to
Be free, be free, be free, be free
Yeah, I like you and I'd like to
