The Freedom of being Lost
Open this and play it while reading this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEG9qd5q8ms it was the inspiration for this.
If I was a bird, I could just escape
Feel the wind flowing above the landscape
Realities and occupations left behind
I would fly to the highest mountains in the skyline
Just sit and watch the world for a time
My eye reflecting the clouds moving in a line
But eventually the memories would come back
The girl I liked, the what if, the answers I lack
Is my family doing okay?
My mind would wander day by day
Until I got the urge to fly back to see
See the girl I wanted to love is happy
With another guy that I wish I was
My family are no different than before
I look through the window where I once was
I can't even knock on the door
So I fly away trying to forget it all
Fly to the farthest countries for escape
Tears falling on the wind like rain drops
See the world and understand everything I can
Yet the memories still come back
Riding the tails of the wind
Riding it with me, I can't escape sin
Forget where I came from and the people I knew
Everything I thought about freedom was true
I have all the world to think now
I wonder if they think of me while I'm gone?
So I return to the mountain tops
Where I sit and watch the clouds fly by
The beautiful clouds creating for me an audience
They all watch passing by
As I hold my wings to myself and fall
With the leaves in the fall
To the earth where I once walked
Goodbye to the people I once talked
I found everything but at what cost?
I am free, therefore I am lost.
