Mm Hmm

Freedom is about letting go - letting go of what hinders us from living with purpose and fulfillment. It's about realizing that at times we are the ones that have held ourselves back and accepting that even people we love dearly can keep us from what's best for us, and that walking away can be the key to making things better.

Chorus

My life's not a movie
but somehow I found you
our names aren't up in lights
but it's five stars from me
five stars from me

Verse 1

You wore red, I wore green
somehow the colors worked
you hung around after the show
said with your bright laugh
well I guess there's one
I said that works for me
that works for me


Verse 2

You bought me a new shirt the other day
as a gentle hint my favorite was 
thread bare
You sneak chocolate milk in to the fridge
even though I say you shouldn't
cause you know it's my favorite
I guess no one would pay to see
all the little things you do for me
but I've got the trailer on repeat
If all the stars lined up
to audition for your part
I'd send them all away

Verse 3

You wear red, I wear green
somehow the colors work
like when you guide me in the dark
and I carry all the heavy loads
so as the credits start to roll
you'll say with your bright laugh
well I guess there's one
I say that works for me
that works for me

Lyrical and melodic variation on the earlier, "Put Me In A Box." I was looking for something less whimsical and overtly topical.  This is really the same subject however; just presented through a different, more personal lens:

Oh my dear I've been thinking, I really hope you know
When it all turns upside down and It's time to go
I'll rely on you, you are like gold
Beautiful and strong

Oh darling I don't know what to think
And I don't know how long we can wait
The wolves are hungry now, clawing at the gate
We can't hesitate

Where, where, where do we go?
Where, where, how will we know?
And when will we be home?

And oh my love it's so strange, did you ever dream
We'd see such days, this gothic scene?
Here comes the terror, the war machine
We've got to get away

Oh my dear, as I say, I look to you
You keep your head in danger, never lose your cool
Your are like gold, immutable
In every fire we have known

Where, where, where do we fly?
When, when do we arrive?
And will, will we know why?

Oh my love, will you shine like gold once again?
