Flying Clouds

They gave me money to find the sky

And I took it with no questions

Didn't even ask them why


But days are open

And skies are free

And the time it took to learn that

Couldn't leave its chains on me


I lived in shadow

Way from the sun.

And the trembling in my mind

Kept my heart and body on the run


Then freedom called us

Called out our names

And the beckon of its highway

Saw through all our useless games


The love we wanted

Was lost in lies

And the chance that slipped on by me

Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes


Chorus:

Then we took the rise together

For the first time in our lives

Feeling just like one is better

Then wastin' time on tearful strife


Our time is open

For us to see

And our freedom skims on upward

like the seagulls soaring at the sea


And our freedom skims on upward

like the seagulls soaring at the sea
