Freedom's Call

Woke up with the sunrise, boots on wooden floor

Map on the table, backpack by the door

Twenty-two and restless, but the mountains know my name

Got a head full of songs and a heart that's wild and untamed

And they say, they say you'll never make it out alive

Well, watch me try

Hey! We'll dance in the valley light

Hey! Till the stars burn bright

Stomp your feet, clap your hands

Sing until you understand

That freedom's in the mountain air tonight!

Small town conversations over coffee getting cold

Same old stories being told and retold

There's a fiddle in the corner of my grandfather's shed

And his wisdom echoes louder than the words he never said

And they say, they say just settle down and stay

But not today

Hey! We'll dance in the valley light

Hey! Till the stars burn bright

Stomp your feet, clap your hands

Sing until you understand

That freedom's in the mountain air tonight!

Oh, the city calls with neon and noise

But these hills have raised me, given me a voice

So gather 'round the fire, friends

Pass that bottle 'round again

The night is young and so are we

And that's how it should be!

Tomorrow we'll be older, one day closer to the end

But tonight we're alive with every breath we spend

So pick up that banjo, tune those guitar strings

Let's make these old mountains echo with the songs we sing

Hey! We'll dance in the valley light (Come on!)

Hey! Till the stars burn bright (Sing it out!)

Stomp your feet, clap your hands

Sing until you understand

That freedom's in the mountain air

Freedom's in the stories shared

Freedom's in the mountain air tonight!

(Hey!) Freedom's calling out tonight

(Hey!) Freedom's calling out tonight
