Loggins & Messina – Be Free 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 rhyme and be free,
Be free (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,
hungering 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 rhyme,
And be free (be free, 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 their older brothers,
Selling snow and shit to others,
Aiding those whose 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 rhyme,
And be free, and be free, and be free (be free...)
