Story behind the song
In writing this song I wanted to capture the simple desire for freedom that we all have, starting with my own viewpoint, then a love relationship, and then expanding to include others.
Lyrics
EVERYONE FREE December 1993 - Dallas TX
Whenever I look up and see a twinkling star
I still wonder I wonder where you are
Way down below the Milky Way
I'm still traveling on my merry way -
My merry way - through life so strange - seeking shelter - needing change
On and on - I cannot wait - to reach those dreams - it's not too late
I remember a child who wandered through here long ago
Asking all the questions - somehow he had to know
And I am that same boy - wants to know - what would it take?
To recover all the kites we lost - to undo our mistakes -
Our mistakes - creep in the dark
Beyond the fire that warms our hearts
Oh for a way - to heal what's past
To make it home - Go free at last
And I still want to be Free - All that I can Be!
Whenever you are listening - that's when I know - I'm not alone
Whatever you are missing - I understand - I too, have held my own
I know it's true you said if only you knew a way
You'd make things better - we would sail on to a brighter day
There is a way - the map's been drawn
We'll leave today - Won't take us long
Mystery unraveled - the truth we'll see
The Bridge is traveled - We can go free
And I want you to be Free - All that you can Be!
-One man willing to forge ahead - the truth we need to know
-Till we recover our ability - for our love to flow
It isn't always easy - you know that some have made it rough
It takes a lot of courage to reach up - high enough
High enough - to reach the skies
Hope for the future - where the Spirit flies
I am Spirit - My dreams live on
I thirst for Freedom - I sing my songwriter
This knowledge gained - restored my youth
It healed the pain - I know the truth
I know the truth has set me Free - Set this Spirit Free!
And I want everyone Free - All that we can Be!
Everyone Free - 1993 - Scott Gordon
