lyrics

To Be Free
By Ross Bellenoit

We blew through the valley with dynamite speed
Fulfilling the want of wanting the need
To be free

Once we were there, we saw what we could
We saw we could never do what we should
To be free

And now when we run we keep looking away
Afraid of the darkness that's leading the way
To be free

The laws of the land are now leading the lame
Wading through fire and walking through flame
To be free

Uncover the coldness you hide in your chest
And know when you try that you're trying your best
To be free

The joke is a good one
You've heard it in jest
You've had it inscribed to the skin of your breast
But when the disaster
Becomes your disease
You can't quite recall all the words to your decrees

So we blew through the valley with dynamite speed
Fulfilling the want of wanting the need
To be free

In time the decision to live and let live
Will be made by a world that can learn to forgive
And be free

(September, 2009)
