LYRICS:
I’ve seen you suffer
the pressure you’ve been under
my love to give is yours to take
every day that you’re livin’
pushing you to give in
hold on, I won’t let you break
‘cause I’m not attaching strings
my love won’t cost anything

I want you by my side
never leave you behind
let’s lift each other high
and free this, free this love
I’ve got hope for you
we’ve got some work to do
let’s keep on pushing through
and free this, free this love

I know we're searching
digging for our meaning
below the surface, soul to soul
truth can’t stay hidden
so trust your intuition
love is something we already know
so stop waiting for a sign
‘cause right now is our time

I want you by my side
never leave you behind
let’s keep each other high
and free this, free this love
I’ve got hope for you
we’ve got some work to do
let’s keep on pushing through
and free this, free this love

There’s got to be a better way to live this life
we’ve got to rise above
you gotta trust in the unknown
just let it go and believe in us

I want you by my side
never leave you behind
let’s lift each other high
and free this, free this love
I’ve got hope for you
we’ve got some work to do
let’s keep on pushing through
and free this, free this love

Free This Love

Hey Gordon, how good to see you after all these years
Are you okay?
Hey Gordon, imagine my surprise to find you here
so far from where we came
I remember how, back in school, every guy wished that he were
you, hey Gordon, I guess I did too

Hey Gordon, they talk about you still in our town, what a game
Hey Gordon, I cursed you never writing back and wondered why
until today
I remember how, back in school, every girl wanted to be with you
Hey Gordon, you leave a place but it never leaves you

A town can feel so small to heroes of nineteen
What point along your fall, Gordon did you dream
A different dream?

Hey Gordon, I see you on the street with your dog, everyday
Hey Gordon, it scares me when we meet, how your eyes have
turned so grey
Something tells me those city streets froze the soul right through
your feet
I remember how, back in school, every guy wished that he were
you, hey Gordon, I guess you did too

Hey Gordon, hey Gordon
Gordon, Gordon, it never leaves you
It never leaves you
