Words and music/Clayton Jeff Jeffries [Jeff Dahl] [c. 1987 and 2008]
V1
Free as the wind, from sky to sky
Free as the time going by
Free as the tide, from shore to shore
Never stopping to see if the world agrees
It’s free
V2
Free as the sun, to light the day
Free as the children to play
Free as a dream, a world away
Never falling astray
At what the others say
CHORUS
Stand
Stand for the right to be free
Stand
Stand, stand, stand with me…
V3
Free as a bird, to fly away
Free as a new shiny day
Free as a cloud, to change in shape
Never stopping to see if the world agrees
It’s free
V4
Free as the laugh, that lights your day
Free as the feeling of play
Free as the sound, that makes you sway
Never stop to obey
What the others say
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Can’t lay in the road, can’t block up the door
Can’t stand in the way, can’t hide anymore
Don’t sit with your life in hand
Falling like a grain of sand
Through the cracks in time
It’s yours and mine to find
This time
[We’ll…]
Chorus
V3
Free from the chains, of binding creeds
Free from the walls I can’t see
Free from the thoughts [of] uncertainties
Never stopping to see, if the world agrees
I’m free
Chorus [3x]
