Free

(album: Characters - 1987)

Free like the river
Flowing freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Ticking way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called

Me having nothing
But possessing riches more than all
And I'm free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shinning through my soul
Free from feeling heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that's the infinite start

I'm gone gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart

Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see

Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby's sleeping eyes

I'm free like a river
Flowing freely to infinity
I'm free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not be
I'm much freer like the meaning of the word free that
crazy man defines
Free free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity
