Free

Words & Music by Brenda Layne

First time you came to my apartment

You said, “Hello, it’s a new chapter in my life”

Now I see the book was way too heavy

Before you even met me

And your poet’s soul was starved for something light

You saw it shinin’ through my eyes

You let me get to know the man you are

Beautiful and sweet, lost and deep

Imprisoned by a fear you can’t be loved

 

But if you want to be free

I believe you can be darlin’

And if you want to be free with me

Feel free to free me from this aching heart

 

The moon is outside my apartment

Calling both our names

Come on come out make love and play

Love can liberate us, strengthen, heal and save us

From wandering off the path we know is right

Put the past behind and break the chains inside

that bind our spirits longing for the sky

You’ve gotta choice to hear my voice

Callin’ you to live a finer life

 

So if you want to be free

I believe you can be darlin’

And if you want to be free with me

Feel free to free me from this aching heart

 

This is your chance to drive away

Those demons holding you at bay

Cast guilt and sorrow from your heart

Let my love in…and we both win

 

I’m standing outside my apartment

Waitin’ for your Harley to drive up

’cause I wanna ride with you all summer

There are the stars for us to make love under

Let’s not waste them even one more night

Because I want to be free

I believe we can be darlin’

And if you want to be free with me

Feel free to free me from this aching heart

Feel free to free me from this aching heart
