free

tender words, paradise promises
this is what you seemed about
powerful dreams in the clutch of your hand
on top of the world with it all figured out

what happened to your grace
what happened to your soul
what happened that made you
give up and let go

you were all set with a picture perfect plan
you were the ideal bold yet gentle man

well, i loved you for what you portrayed to be
and i wanted to know more of how to be free
free verse, free dream, free spirit, free hand
and for you to teach me
to hear you tell me i can

to go where i want
and take what i dare
but be true like you wanted
honest and fair
