I can see it in the starry sky
I can smell it on the wind
My tired soul reaches out
And welcomes such a scent from the free world
I am listening for any sound
Not coming from within
I see my spirit soar beyond these chains
To search for what is sent from the free world
Chorus:
The free world
It dances in my mind
Reminding me of peacefulness
And all the things you find in the free world
For a moment in time
It touches me with secret strength
To carry to the free world
I am tasting of this longing
That only prisoners know
I dream of times when time is spent
And I am free to go to the free world
Bridge:
It's not calling me away 'cause I would go
It's not teasing me with the things I'll never ever know
It's simply waiting for me
Gives me strenth to carry on
In the meantime
In the meantime
