Free (As a Bird on the Wing)
They scarred the earth and bled it, tread it to mud, marred and shredded its guts
But I keep on walking nonetheless, on the lookout for the last of the beautiful places
Though it burns my eyes like mace, keep up my pace and pray
For more of this day, hoping that it may
Keep pouring all its beauty into my face
Keep pouring this beauty into my face
They shot Abraham Lincoln; shot honest Abe's hope, shot Lennon and Gandhi
And in short forfeited our shot at a better world that we could have got
I walk with the weight of their wraith upon my back
But I walk towards the future with hope and an eighth
With a little voice at the core of my faith that never relents and says:
Keep pouring this beauty into my faith
Keep pouring this beauty into my faith
If life ain't nothing but a day and I ain't nothing but a dying thought
Well an endless restless feeling has crossed my mind today
And the spirit's rejuvenating to the grooving rhythm of youth forever moving on
And there's a resonating beat, that's the beating of my heart
A path of light through the dark, leading up to a different world
And the hurriedness I've felt is buried with before
I ain't got no worries anymore
I'm free as a bird on the wing
I don't have any worries, I don't have no worries but the road a-stretching on
Don't think I'll take it straight
Keep on walking on, as an oblate believer, relieved and emboldened
Shaking off this miserable weight and walking elated with unsated desire
Keep pouring this beauty into my fate
Keep pouring this beauty into my fate
Cause I ain't got nothing to worry about
Got nothing but the sun upon my face, got nothing but desire and this beautiful place
I'm happy to be walking under the sun, happy to be yonder where I should have come
Happy to be walking on and on, happy to be walking endlessly on
Cause I ain't got nothing to worry about today
No, I ain't got nothing to worry about today
But I keep on walking nonetheless, on the lookout for the last of the beautiful places
Though it burns my eyes like mace, keep up my pace and pray
For more of this day, hoping that it may
Keep pouring all its beauty into my face
Keep pouring this beauty into my face
They shot Abraham Lincoln; shot honest Abe's hope, shot Lennon and Gandhi
And in short forfeited our shot at a better world that we could have got
I walk with the weight of their wraith upon my back
But I walk towards the future with hope and an eighth
With a little voice at the core of my faith that never relents and says:
Keep pouring this beauty into my faith
Keep pouring this beauty into my faith
If life ain't nothing but a day and I ain't nothing but a dying thought
Well an endless restless feeling has crossed my mind today
And the spirit's rejuvenating to the grooving rhythm of youth forever moving on
And there's a resonating beat, that's the beating of my heart
A path of light through the dark, leading up to a different world
And the hurriedness I've felt is buried with before
I ain't got no worries anymore
I'm free as a bird on the wing
I don't have any worries, I don't have no worries but the road a-stretching on
Don't think I'll take it straight
Keep on walking on, as an oblate believer, relieved and emboldened
Shaking off this miserable weight and walking elated with unsated desire
Keep pouring this beauty into my fate
Keep pouring this beauty into my fate
Cause I ain't got nothing to worry about
Got nothing but the sun upon my face, got nothing but desire and this beautiful place
I'm happy to be walking under the sun, happy to be yonder where I should have come
Happy to be walking on and on, happy to be walking endlessly on
Cause I ain't got nothing to worry about today
No, I ain't got nothing to worry about today
