Free Songtext

von Burton Cummings

You must be cautious, you must always be learning,
And you must tread lightly in front of powers that be...
You must see the sun rise with a feeling of wonder
Never forgetting what it means to be free.

And you must have courage, you must be curious,
You must try absorbing all the things that you can see...
You can search for a lifetime for the maning of one word,
If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free".

There is talk of compassion,
But it hides from the hardened,
And it runs like a quarry
From a senseless kill...

And you must find meaning in things you've been ignoring
And you will learn lessons that help a soul to be free.

There is talk of compassion
But it hides from the hardened,
And it runs like a quarry
From a senseless kill...

You will find lessons for the teaching and the learning
And you will walk prouder 'cause you will be free...
Your eyes will be brighter 'cause you will be free...
You can search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word
If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free".
