The One-Line Lyric Challenge

Be Free

For January, we have one of my favorite songs in existence. A musical journey.

Dedicated to my late Grampa D.

Just a coincidence that this comes at the last week of my bootcamp classes. Really.
Don't skip over the 3 and a half minute instrumental. It's the best part of the song, by far.

"Be Free" by Loggins & Messina



Lyrics: ▶︎

I can see the world's changing
I can see it re-arranging
Happening before my very eyes

Everywhere the cement's growing
In the street the traffic's flowing
Ruining the air up in the skies
It's no surprise

I want to get away and live my life
In the rivers and trees
I want to spend the days making wine and be free
Be free

I can hear the cities calling
Come on down, I can feel you falling
Happening for all of us to see

See the deepening cement hollow
Reaching out for those who follow
Hunkering on far too many lies
It's no surprise

I want to get away and live my life
In the rivers and trees
I want to spend my days making wine
And be free, and be free

From the winds so far away
I've had an inner vision
I've seen the universe unfold

[instrumental]

I can hear the school bell ringing
From the yard the children singing
Merrily life is but a dream

In the street there go the brothers
Selling slow and ship to others
Aiding those whos songs have turned to cries
It's no surprise

I want to get away and live my life
In the rivers and trees
I want to spend my days making wine
And be free, and be free, and be free...
