流れる雲に憧れた僕ら 遮るものなど何ひとつない 記憶の中に刻んだ空の色は あの日のように 変わらぬように どこへ行こうか まだ見ぬ場所へ 時は止まらない 手を伸ばして 渇いたまま僕らは駆け出したんだ ごまかせない心に気づいたから 何も飾らず そのままで 風に吹かれ行くだけさ To be free 日射しの中で笑い合った僕ら 無邪気な声が今も響いてる 溢れるほどの想いは明日に向かい 輝くように 変わらぬように 一人じゃないさ 涙拭えば 大切なものに 気づくのだろう 透き通ったまま僕らは夢描いたんだ あきらめない太陽より煌めくから 流した汗も そのままで 光求め行くだけさ To be free 振り返ることも出来ずに 走り抜けてきた僕ら 上り下り繰り返した それは時に甘くほろ苦い 渇いたまま僕らは駆け出したんだ ごまかせない心に気づいたから 何も飾らず そのままで (to be free) 透き通ったまま僕らは夢描いたんだ あきらめない太陽より煌めくから 流した汗も そのままで... 渇いたまま僕らは駆け出したんだ ごまかせない心に気づいたから 何も飾らず そのままで 風に吹かれ行くだけさ To be free To be free To be free

Vineland New Jersey Farmland stretching Far as the eye can see Not much down there but Sun scorched pastures in 1953 The war was over and they came searching For a place to be Left the Rheinland they lost their homeland and all their family Like feathers on the ocean breeze They went spinning and tumbling across the sea Never know where they'll come down Or who'll they be Like Heather on the hillside They where bruised and they where battered by the breeze Searching for a place to be free Sunburnt summer frostbite Winter Kids were plainly dressed Left the farmhouse when he was old enough and Headed out west, from California To southern Africa, and all the way to France And on to England to meet my mother in 1981 A feather on the ocean breeze He went spinning and tumbling across the sea Never knowing when he'd come down Or who he'd be Like Heather on the hillside He was bruised and he was battered by the breeze Searching for a place to be free Oh like a seed that is flying in the Wind in search of water, soil and sun And the birds and the bees to have it all along Now here I am 33 years down 2017 Seen the Rheinland I've been to vineland I'm a feather on the breeze

Once in a house on a hill A boy got angry He broke into my heart For a day and a night I stayed beside him Until I had no hope So I came down the hill Of course I was hurt But then I started to think It shouldn't hurt me to be free It's what I really need To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself There's a bar by the dock Where I found myself Drinking with this man He offered me a cigarette And I accepted 'Cause it's been a very long time As it burned 'till the end I thought of the boy No one could ever forget It shouldn't hurt me to be free It's what I really need To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself

Well I remember what you told me Said drinking was unholy So lord can you point me to the creek And I still keep it with me Tucked under all the memories Your voice echoing throughout those trees And through unfavorable weather And holes in the leather These boots still covered in tar Well I'm still praying to the heavens And hoping for them sevens But hope only gets a man so far When this game of life plays heavy on my heart and Love is tough and loneliness is twice as hard and I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell am I still coal I've seen heaven without dying Met the devil without trying and they both seem to wanna talk to me But I'm all outta luck now and my dreams aren't worth a buck now Its tough tryna land on my feet When this game of life plays heavy on my heart and Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell am I still coal And everyday its getting colder Since that day in October When you told me it was over, so I left So if you need me, well I told you I'm on the better side of sober Tryna find a four-leaf clover to get me out of this mess This game of life plays heavy on my heart and Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell This game of life plays heavy on my heart and Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go They say pressure makes diamonds How the hell am I still coal

Let's flip a coin Heads for north and tails for southbound Oh, and let's see what this world is all about If it's worth runnin' round Go for a drive Watch the black rollover yellow When the sun's comin' up and when it sets low That burnin' ball of fire makes the trees glow Oh, 'cause if you leave behind your worries like a bandit on the run I swear you'll be just fine, at least until the morn Out for a walk, underneath the shadows of the trees Past bare streets to runnin' creeks Where you make it easy to find peace We can stay at home, let ourselves lose track of time Go on, let the sun in through the blinds Sit for a while and close our eyes Oh, 'cause if you leave behind your worries like a bandit on the run I swear you'll be just fine, at least until the morn Sometimes we're livin' just to die What does it take to feel alive? Do you need the lows to love the highs? And when we leave this world behind I know that you'll be in that sky Help me remember how to fly Oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh
