Lyrics

You Are Free

I had a dream last night

That we lost the fight

I had a reason to stay in the back of my head

But I still have to say goodbye

Here in this bed

Free, you are free

Free, you are free

You oughta lay down low

Covered in packs of snow

Lay down low

Covered in packs of snow

I had a dream last night

Cold sweatin' woke in a fright

Counted up all the years

And it soon became clear

Despite all the tears you can cry

We're nearing the end

Free, you are free

Free, you are free

Stop telling me the right way to go

I'm on my own

You're selling our old ways

Stop telling me the right way to go

I'm on my own

You're selling our old ways

Stop telling me the right way to go

I'm on my own

You're selling our old ways

Stop telling me the right way to go

You are free

You are free

Like living things need to be

Free, you are free

Like everything wants to be
