Free will

"Free will" is a song by LorD and Master about the concept of free will and how not subscribing to its idea removes all responsibility. If fate or a deity is in control of everything that happens, why bother doing anything at all? The narrator of the song realises this and then changes their mind about how they view their relationship.

Lyrics

Fate
What happens happens
It’s great
There’s no responsibility

Then I find everything is
Upside-down
There’s a struggle in my mind 
Going round and round

If I had free will 
I’d still
Be with you
If I had to choose
To lose it all
I would refuse

Sense
Past, present, future, future perfect
Tense
Do cause and effect have an affect

Suddenly my world view is flipped 
Upside-down
There’s a struggle in my mind 
Going round and round

If I had free will 
I’d still
Be with you
If I had to choose
To lose it all
I would refuse

Touching you
Is ecstasy
Electric charge
Of you and me
In that moment
I changed my mind
We each choose our own
Path to find

Fate
We’re in control of it
It’s great
It’s life’s rich tapestry

Every now and then things can turn
Upside-down
There’s a struggle in my mind
Going round and round

Because I have free will
I am still
With you
And if I had to choose
To lose it all
I would refuse

It’s because I have free will
That I am still
With you
And if I had to choose
To lose it all
I would refuse
