Burton Cummings Lyrics
"Free"

You must be cautious. You must always be burning.
You must tread lightly from the powers that be.
You must see the sunrise will a feeling of wonder -
never forgetting what it means to be "FREE"

And you must have courage.
You must be curious. You must try absorbing all the
things that you see. You search for a lifetime for
the meaning of one word - if you were to pick one word
- that word should be "FREE"

There is talk of compassion but it hides from the heart.
And it runs like a quarry from a senseless kill.

You must find meaning in things you've been ignoring.
And you will learn lessons - help the soul to be "FREE"

There is talk of compassion but it hides from the heart.
And it runs like a quarry from a senseless kill.

You will find lessons for the teaching and the learning.
And you will walk prouder - 'cause you will be "FREE"
Your eyes will be brighter - 'cause you will be "FREE"

You search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word.
If you were to pick one word - that word should be "FREE"
