Lament lyrics
|
I've long awaited for the day That comes to set me free And all I ask As I'm a fool Is love for You and me For now and each and every day The moon, it changes [us] all All the misery lies Set to blind Your eyes All in all For from seeing You All I need is a simple truth Cause I believe in You A story telling silent [order] make believe us true cause I will know A time to climb above my lonely soul I reach out with my heart To the moment divine And feel my love grow |
Freedom divine Freedom divine Freedom divine Freedom divine Freedom divine All I need is a simple truth Cause I believe in You A story telling silent [order] make believe us true Cause I will know A time to climb above my lonely soul I reach out with my heart (Freedom divine) To the lonely divine (Freedom divine) And feel my love grow Freedom divine Freedom divine Freedom divine |
Song for the free lyrics

Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Didn't throw away my life Going to release my time Saw it in the book of love Only written for the free Coming from a distant land Wisdom is the helping hand Chosen from the fruits of love Only given to the free Where the good old days are passing Hand in hand we will be And noone standing between us have the right You and me You and me Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Send to me a love that's true And a secret just for you |
In your eyes a vision [fades/faint] Only given to the free Where the good old days are passing Hand in hand we will be And noone standing between us we have the right you and me you and me Didn't throw away my life Going to release my time Saw it in the book of love Only written for the free Coming from a distant land Wisdom is the helping hand Chosen from the fruits of love Only given to the free Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm Mmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm |
Race to the end lyrics
| There is but one
freedom Man running along Each step that he's taking A step to his soul The passion and courage It takes to be there The spirit of freedom Alive in the air Whenever the running man awakes To challenge to glory He knows he can turn the key once more To unlock the soul The way becomes clearer |
The way is complete The need, that of winning Admit no defeat The circles together Hold hands to the sky The freedom of running The freedom to fly Let no man surround himself with pain But use it to free him The game is to learn to live again To try to the end A race to the end |
