| 'When Freedom Falls' I was walking home from school the other day When someone stopped me on my way And asked me, 'How do you feel About the reason that you're here Instead of with someone that you care about? But you're all alone.' And I had to think about it, And I almost lost my mind But not before I figured out That it's up to me where I am and what I do. <chorus> Cuz freedom only goes so far before it falls And when it drops, I go along for the ride Not knowing whether or not I will return Ya, freedom only goes so far before it falls And I cannot control anything in my life Whenever this freedom falls down. So, in answer to your question If I could put them where I like Then they would be with my Lord tonight Being held in His arms forever. Except freedom only stretches so far But that's just life and how it's gonna be From now until the end of eternity Rules will keep me in the boundaries Of which I hope to escape Why can't life be carefree? <chorus> Men will pass me by and not even take A minute to peek at what I can be Or what I'm about I try to give them the time But I haven't received from them And I'm all alone. I finally muster up the courage To walk up to your face But by the time I do, it's too late For whatever I want. <chorus> I pray for mercy upon me And a free ride that you don't give To anyone who isn't perfect And if I was I'd have all the freedom in the world. I think to myself and cry a little But eventually I am alright. (c) December 2003 Charissa Tarnow, All rights reserved. |
