Lyrics
GONNA BE FREE
Music by Andru Branch & Halfway Tree © 2012
I can see the clouds in her window
Reflecting all the memories of the home
The home in which she used to live
But now she’s gone and she’s moved away
And now what am I supposed to do?
I used to tell her all my deepest, darkest secrets
And she would listen for a thousand years
But now she’s gone
And she’s moved away
And now what am I supposed to do?
I wonder if she knows
That I would love her for a thousand years?
Now that she’s gone I must take pains
Make something of myself in this time
Yes now that she’s gone
I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be free
A thousand blessings upon you
For teaching me what you came to share
And now I must make haste
And I’ll be strong as I move along
It is I alone on this journey
And you alone on your respective one too
You respect me; I’ll respect you
You do your best and I’ll do my best too
So go ahead and tell me all your wildest dreams
There’s not much time left these days it seems
And if you should stumble in the darkness
Remember thy rod and thy staff is thy light
And now that I’m alone I must confess
Now I can see clearly through the wilderness
Now that she’s gone
I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be free
