Burton Cummings - Free lyrics

You must be cautious, you must always be learning, And you must tread lightly in front of powers that be... You must see the sun rise with a feeling of wonder Never forgetting what it means to be free. And you must have courage, you must be curious, You must try absorbing all the things that you can see... You can search for a lifetime for the maning of one word, If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free". There is talk of compa**ion, But it hides from the hardened, And it runs like a quarry From a senseless k**... And you must find meaning in things you've been ignoring And you will learn lessons that help a soul to be free. There is talk of compa**ion But it hides from the hardened, And it runs like a quarry From a senseless k**... You will find lessons for the teaching and the learning And you will walk prouder 'cause you will be free... Your eyes will be brighter 'cause you will be free... You can search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free".
