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
