in AlbumCharacters

Free like the river

Flowing freely through infinity

Free to be sure of

What I am and who I need not be

Free from all worries

Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind

Freer than the clock's hands

Tickin' way the times

Freer than the meaning of free that man defines

Life running through me

Till I feel my father God has called

Me having nothin'

But possessing riches more than all

And I'm free

To be nowhere

But in every place I need to be

Freer than a sunbeam

Shining through my soul

Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold

Free from conceiving the beginning

For that's the infinite start

I'm gone - gone but still living

Life goes on without a beating heart

Free like a vision

That the mind of only you can see

Freer than a raindrop

Falling from the sky

Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes

I'm free like a river

Flowin' freely through infinity

I'm free to be sure of what

I am and who I need not to be

I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that crazy man defines

Free - free like the vision that

The mind of only you are ever gonna see

Free like the river my life

Goes on and on through infinity
