I think I'll go down by the river
Gonna sit out and try to rest my mind
All the things I've been trying to face

Gonna leave them all behind

Watching the boats go by

oh, and may even cry
But I'll be free, if it's only for a little while
I'll be free


I can't live, I say I can't live life-memory
Yesterday, yesterday is dead and gone

Tomorrow, tomorrow may not even see the dawn

If I had the wings of a bird above

I'll fly somewhere way up in the sky
Just to be free, if it's only for a little while
I'll be free


Rumbling, rumbling through my soul
Searching for my mind

Looking for a reason for living
I'm so tired of dying


Looking back over my life
Tring to remember where I've been
Thinking about the rivers are yet to cross

And wondering where I'm going

If only I could make the whole world see

Just what it would really really mean to me
To be free, if it's only for a little while
To be free

To be free
To be free...
