[Verse 1]
Well, if something sets you free,
It surely is a sound
Like the beating in your chest
Or the thunder in the clouds
Sure as that thud, when the apple hit the ground
And sweet as the taste, when you put it in your mouth
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm gonna run
Just as fast as I can
Feel the sun on my face
And the earth in my hands
Burn all my things in the mansion of sin
Cast away, cast away, boy
But, light as the wind
[Verse 3]
Howl at the night
Like a dog on a chain
My body restless, my heart all aflame
My Lord, my Lord, I call out in vain
Why give you this world of toil and pain
[Verse 4]
So I'm gonna run
Just as fast as I can
Feel the sun on my face
And the earth in my hands
Burn all my things in the mansion of sin
Cast away, cast away, boy
But, light as the wind
