They gave me money

to find the sky.

And I took it with no question, didn't even ask them why.

But days are open

And skies are free

And the time it took to learn that

Didn't leave its chains on me.

I lived in shadow

Way from the sun.

And the tremblin' in my mind

Kept my heart and body on the run.

(Improvise a fill like the ones above and end it with A)

When freedom called us

Called out our names....

And the beckon of the highway

Saw through all our useless games

(fill ending in )

The love we wanted

Was lost in lies

And the chance that slipped on by me

Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes

(fill ending in )

Then we took the rise together

For the first time in our lives

Feeling just like one suspended

Then we said time won't keep our strife

Our time is open

For us to see

And our freedom schemes are open

like the seagulls soaring at the sea

(fill)

And our freedom schemes are open

like the seagulls soaring at the sea.
