Lyrics
Just a step away is all it took to get outside and take a look.
The days have seemed to pass like dreams armed with insufficient schemes.
It's like I've been afraid to be set free, to find my own reality.
I thought my dreams would magically dawn upon this raging sea.
Some folks think they'll do you good by pointing out what's wrong and what could
trip you up and knock you down. I'm starting to think I got some fans of that sound. Shroud the ones you love with walls, even still that freedom calls.
Feed their minds on doubt and fear. What I've got to do is coming clear...
You keep calculating exactly what I'm supposed to be.
And while you're busy with that I'll be learning to live free.
I'm Free, I'm Free, well I guess I'm Free
Once upon a time alot like now, tangled up with who and how
my plans could take shape and form, hanging on to the threads that were torn
by the hands that fed my roots and threaten to poison the lot of the fruit.
Who's hands shape the clay on the throwing wheel?
You will never own the life you steal.
Pantomime the promises of what you were told you could be.
The farther you go and the more that you know the less you will pray to keep.
You play the game and run the course for all tomorrow's meals...
pawned the strings to your puppet now how's that feel?
Sign away, sign away, sign away the laws that bound you.
You keep calculating exactly what I'm supposed to be.
And while you're busy with that I'll be learning to live free.
I'm Free, I'm Free, well I guess I'm Free
