Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Free like the river

Flowing freely through infinity

Free to be sure of

What I am and who I need not be

[Verse 2]

Free from all worries

Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind

Freer than the clocks hands

Ticking away the time

Freer than the meaning of free that man defines

[Verse 3]

Life running through me

Till I feel my father, God has called

Me having nothing

But possessing riches more than all

[Verse 4]

And now I am free

To be nowhere

But every place I need to be

[Verse 5]

Freer than a sunbeam

Shining through my soul

Free from feeling heat

Or knowing bitter cold

[Verse 6]

Free from conceiving

The beginning

For that's the infinite start

[Verse 7]

I'm gone but still living

Life goes on without a beating heart

Whoa, oh, whoa, oh

Free like a vision

That the mind of only you can see

[Verse 8]

Freer than a raindrop

Falling from the sky

Freer than the smile in a baby's sleeping eyes

[Verse 9]

I'm free like a river

Flowing freely to infinity

Whoa, free to be sure of what I am

And who I need not be

I'm much freer than the meaning of the word free

That man, oh man defines

[Verse 10]

Free, yeah, like the vision

That the mind of only, only you are ever going to see

Free like the river

My life goes on and on through infinity
