Let Me Be Free

Music & lyrics, 1977

The sunlight filled my eyes today
The rain touched my heart
The wind spoke of love far away
The sea roared in my mind

Let me be free to love
Let me be free
Let me be free to love
Let me be free

Then I said 'Hey' to the elders
I said "Hey' to them all
Then I said 'Hey' to the wise ones
I said 'Hey' to the sky

Come let us go for a walk in the morning
Back to our mother the sea
There we shall find our lost memories
Come let us walk by the waves that crash on the shore
See the morning's glory
It's only then we can be reborn

I thought of a friend who lives beyond
The ocean of fire
I dreamed that we once were one
And would be so again

Let me be free to love
Let me be free
Let me be free to love
Let me be free

Then I said 'Hey' to the starlight
I said "Hey' to the moon
Then I said 'Hey' to my good friend
I said 'Hey' to myself

Come let us go for a walk in the morning
Back to our mother the sea
There we shall find our lost memories
Come let us walk by the waves that crash on the shore
See the morning's glory
It's only then we can be reborn

Then I said 'Hey' to the starlight
I said "Hey' to the moon
Then I said 'Hey' to my good friend
I said 'Hey' to myself

Come let us go for a walk in the morning
Back to our mother the sea
There we shall find our lost memories
Come let us walk by the waves that crash on the shore
See the morning's glory
It's only then we can be reborn

Come let us walk
Into the sun
And burn like fire
And then I shall turn to you
And say I love you

I love you
I love you
I love you
