Story Behind The Song
"if you love someone, set them free"
and if they've been in an abusive set of relationships, and finally get into a good relationship, but then realize, this is my turn to be free. and stoopidly you let them go and they're right back into the abuse again. but they never come back. sucks.
Song Description
anyways, this one i wrote back in the late 80's when new age was all the rage. turns out i suck at writing new age songs. here it is. the trick for me (at least) is lot's and lot's of delays on simple parts - cajon for drums, tambourine, acoustic bass, acoustic and electric guitars for finger picking and rhythms, piano and organ, and a synth "solo"

Lyrics
[verse]
you ask me for your freedom
you ask me for a dream
i don't control your life
any more than you control me
[chorus]
turn to be free
what's that mean?
to you
what's that mean?
to me
[verse]
you trade in a heavy hand
for a length of velvet chain
it doesn't matter where you are
the bond is just the same
[bridge]
say you'll take what i will give
say you'll take your freedom
and then you'll start to live
[chorus]
turn to be free
what's that mean?
to you
what's that mean?
to me
[break]
turn to be free
what's that?
what's that mean?
[chorus]
turn to be free
what's that mean?
to you
what's that mean?
to me
[outro]
turn to be free
turn
turn to be free
what's that mean?
turn
turn to be free
