Free
Intro
It’s a hard life when you’re trapped in a box
Standing on rocks, the whole world’s outside of your thoughts
I tie my stomach in knots
And everybody’s walking around with the same dream
Same dream to be free of fear and have stability
We think it’s rationality but really it’s just an abnormality
Let me tell you why

Verse 1
Coming from the days when everything was better
I remember sitting contemplating whether I would live forever
Maybe if I close my eyes and put my hands together
I would know it all and live my life in blether
But it never came to me, I had to use thought and discover the reality
That to be free is to always push and never settle, yeah

Chorus 1
That is the dream, that is the dream, that is the dream
I had to see it on my own now
I had to get up on my own two feet and see it on my own now
And in the darkness I will hold you close and never let you go now
I wake up everyday and see the beauty that is within me now, yeah
Verse 2
Free
I met this baby once
She was a quiet one
I tried to hold her hand
But she let go and ran
All around the block where people often drove in vans
I watched her closely man
She noticed everything
From random blades of grass
To rabbit’s secret stash
And all at once I had to stop it when it hit me fast
A child’s mind is so amazing and the way it doesn’t carry all the things in life that people seem to deem as scary
Like when fear of failure stops you living freely, yeah

Chorus 2
That is the dream, that is the dream, that is the dream
I had to see it on my own now
I had to get up on my own two feet and see it on my own now
And in the darkness I will hold you close and never let you go now
I wake up everyday and see the beauty that is within me now, yeah

Verse 3
It snowed a lot last night
Lowered eyes, I knot my laces tight
Not afraid to brace the fight
Brave enough to spread my wings in flight
Freedom’s shackles keep me bound in sleepless nights
I push on knowing I used to sleep in fright
But passion liberates and enervates
Even when the soul says, “do not resuscitate”
So elevate from within
Grasp the light which burns sin and
Find the strength to do more, see more, feel more, hear more, laugh more, cry more, smile more, love more, ask more, think more, be more…
