Freebird II

I've learned how not to miss the age of tenderness

That I am so lucky to have seen once

And now that I've become older, I've learned how to brush over

My history and how it's sequenced

When I think about you, I see a person who

Hasn't existed for a long time

Before you started usin', before I started choosin'

To do the same thing for the same reasons

The first name I called you, is not a name at all

More of a duty than a function

Often an execution, often with deep confusion of

"Who was I when that name was just mine?"

Like a serpent charmer negotiatin' harm

I live with a basket of your silence

And as the years record, I can feel it growin' bored

But I keep the top on in the meantime

When I pass my reflection, there isn't any question of

Where the person in it came from

When I catch myself thinkin', and hear the voice that speaks inside

I know where I got brain from

Every step I've stray from and followed

Led me to the same location

Every act I've forsake and borrowed

A delivery to now

And I've never wondered how

I came to be

I feel free like you promised I'd be

Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be

Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be

Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
