Why can't I be free?
Freedom is liberty
But what is Liberty?
Does it ever last
Does it come easily
Or
dissolve completly?
When do we heal,
Does this pain ever stop?
Freedom: What is it?
My life is a vertical
drop
Why can't I be free?
It is not fair
That they say it's there
And I dont have it
Why can't I
be free?
I want to fly above the mountains
Yet my wings are clipped
Why can't I be free?
Why can't they
see?
I want to sail the seas
Yet I have no sails
The wind wont pick-up
My craft is nothing
But wooden
boards and nails
They say "Seek and ye shall find"
But that for which I seek
Cannot be found
WHy
can't I be free?
My hands are completely bound
The world says "look at what you have"
But why can't
they see
Why won't they see
Why do they refuse to see
I can never be free
But this will soon change
I
will take control
But not on my own
I need another with no toll
To help me leave my worries back in town
It is not fair that they say it's there
And I do not have it
But I will have it
I will be free
I will
be free
The Cure
The Day came by
when I thought you might die
But as I hoped
But as I prayed
Your angel did
not fly.
It was not time
Now you'll be fine
In the arms of love that's pure
You're in the cure.
I
once for a time
Thought hope was gone
But together we found
the will to carry on
Our hopes and dreams
Faded, but as it seems
OUr love will prevail
And heal like a holy grail
Our wounds may be mortal
But they
are in our hearts,
But together, with faith
We'll mend the broken parts
It was almost good-bye
But now
we'll survive
And love will always be
The Cure
The confusion and worry
Staying side-by-side
The vows
will always stand
I'll never leave you behind.
The way we cared
The way we still do
For ever more
I'll
be loving you
I told you before
I'd help you in need
I keep my word
I'm on bended knee
I love you
too much
My heart beats for you
And I know our love
Will always be true.

"The Cure" was my first attempt at wrinting lyrics for music. (1996) I had goven it to an old Elementarty School
teacher to add music to it, but BOY did it turn out bad!!!
It was so bad, in fact that I really struggled with my next
attempt, which turned out to be "Why Can't I be Free".
THAT one went so bad that I never wrote any lyrics until
"This Rose From Me" in December of 1998.
The lyric thing never really got the "just right" feel
until
"You know you're gonna miss me" in Febuary 2001
