Falling Free
Lyrics
When I move a certain way
I feel an ache I'd kept at bay
A hairline break that's taking hold
A medal that I thought was gold
And pure so sure I'd struck a vein
I wanted you to feel the same
So when you did ignite a spark
Rescue me from all this dark
See our hearts are intertwined
Then I'm free, free of mind
I'm falling free
And see our hearts are intertwined
And then I'm free, I'm free of mind
Deep and pure our hearts aligned
And then I'm free, I'm free of mind
When I raise a certain wing
And crawl beneath that growing thing
It throws a shadow over time
And keeps yours falling next to mine
Your days were meant to fly and do
I fall and fold mine into you
And what you take is just enough
And what you give is what I love
And when you live you raise the sail
And then I'm free, free to fail
I'm falling free
Deep and pure our hearts aligned
And then I'm free, I'm free of mind
When I let loose the need to know
Then we're both free, we're free to go
When I lose a certain claim
That tries to know and needs to blame
Whatever river runs aground
It turns my head and washes down
The face of God that stands above
Pouring over Hope and Love
That all of might, and life, and limb
Could turn around and love again
When I let loose the need to know
Then we're both free, free to go
I'm falling free
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling free
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling free
Deep and pure our hearts aligned
And then I'm free, I'm free of mind
When I let loose the need to know
Then we're both free, we're free to go
Deep and pure our hearts aligned
And then I'm free, I'm free of mind
When I let loose the need to know
Then we're both free, free to go
