Being Free

Intro

Oh-oh, uh-huh, yeah

(la-la, la-la)

Verse

I took my keys, put 'em on the table, walked away

Left the paper list, left the shoulds, left the why I stayed

Sun on my shoulder like a secret I can keep

Feet on a new street, smiling at the wide, wide sweep

No more holding plans like a weight inside my coat

I traded all the reasons for a single note

Wind in my jacket, laughter in my shoes

I learned to trust the little dangerous thing called truth

Pre-chorus

Slow breath, steady hands (steady hands)

The map tears, the road expands (yeah)

Little sparks, big plans, no leash on me

I found one small word and it set me free

Chorus

Being free, being free (being free, being free)

Being free, being free (oh-oh, yeah)

Be-be-free, be-be-free (be-be-free, be-be-free)

Being free, being free (let it go, let it go)

Verse

I used to count the cost before I dared to try

Now I spend my time on sunrise and the open sky

Conversations without fences, nights without a script

I laugh at old regrets like they slipped from my grip

No permission needed, no medal to collect

Just crooked roads and music where the corners intersect

I carry less, I carry light, my pockets finally clear

Practice saying yes to what I want to hear

Pre-chorus

Slow breath, steady hands (steady hands)

The map tears, the road expands (come on)

Little sparks, big plans, no leash on me

I found one small word and it set me free

Chorus

Being free, being free (being free, being free)

Being free, being free (oh-oh, yeah)

Be-be-free, be-be-free (be-be-free, be-be-free)

Being free, being free (let it go, let it go)

Bridge

And if the sky looks empty, I'll hang my colors there

If old voices pull and pester, I'll answer with a dare

A hundred tiny rebellions stack into a dawn

I hum a little louder and the fear is gone

(hey, hey) being free (being free), being free (being free)

Chorus

Being free, being free (being free, being free)

Being free, being free (oh-oh, yeah)

Be-be-free, be-be-free (be-be-free, be-be-free)

Being free, being free (let it go, let it go)

Being free, being free (being free, being free)

Being free, being free (oh-oh, yeah)
