If I Were Free
(专辑: Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros - 2013)
If I
were free I
would run into battles with flowers and hugs And bow at the
boots of our well-oiled thugs Yes, if I
were free If it were me I
would yell out "I love you!" to all I
passed I
would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask Yes, if I
were free I'd be the
'U' that crossed the
'I' to simply 'B' Minding our reflections at the
bottom of the
sea What did you see? I
saw that you and I
forever have been free The
light became too heavy and I
fell into a
dream What did you dream? I
dreamed a
wind that would sweep Every castle made of sand Out across the
old far holy land Oh, if this were free If this were free We'd be free of the
terror of the
graves And fear masquerading as the
brave Oh, if this were free I
woke upon a
pig of red, white and blue The
circus got too heavy so we fell into the
zoo What did you feel? I
felt the
fear that every queer does in his head First thing to starting over, I
made sure I
was dead What did you dream? Swimming with ancients, laughing, tired of getting lost We took our left, remember, when we leaned upon the
cross What did you see? I
saw that you and I
forever have been free The
light became too heavy and we fell into a
dream
