Free Spirit Lyrics

I walk this life alone
No one can follow me
My freedom's all I own
Don't try to shackle me
Brother can't you see
This ain't no place for me
I need the open sea
My spirit's wild and free
Blind to life's mysteries
They never understand

You stand there shaking with
Your head up in the clouds
Your heart is aching and
the world just drags you down
You will hear them say
Grow up and be a man
Don't throw your life away
Give up your foolish plans

They'll make you dull and clean
Teach you to wear a frown
Surrender all your dreams
And bear a martyr's crown
Deaf to life's symphonies
They never hear a sound
Your dreams are breaking,
lying in pieces on the ground
Your heart is aching and
the world just drags you down
