Sweet Freedom lyrics

One day ...

Didn't I tell ya
Everything was gonna be alright
I never doubted
It was just a matter of time
And though I've travelled
Across the desert of despair
I know I'll get there one day

How times have changed
I better re-arrange it everything
But it can't change the love I bring
When I get back home to you
I am the same
It's just a game that I chose to play

If I had the time
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care
To change a thing
As long as I find
Just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh
And I can sing

I can have my fun
With the silver stars
I can watch the sun
Fall in the sea
And if it rains
I will smile just the same
For the rain
Will make the flowers sing

I know how it is to feel sad

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane

Then something will come
And make you feel
The master in control
Still you're picking up
And screwing anyone
Who's got a soul

I've been here
Far too long to remember
Sights and sounds
From this town of clowns
Makin' up, dressin' up
Walkin' around

As you look around you
Do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes
Makes you lonely
Do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be okay
Without my company?
I just want you to be happy
Even if it's not with me

Sweet sweet freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet sweet Freedom
Sweet sweet sweet

What I'm really tryin' to say

Don't try to be anything else
But what you are
Don't try to do anything else
But the things you do
'Cause I had a dream
About seven stars
And the seven good things
That you are to me

The very reason I'm livin'
Is just for lovin' you
And the seasons are changin'
Makin' it all come true
‘Cause with the spring
And clearing skies
Love's soft light

A pilgrim at the grey of dawn
Leaving in the mist of morning
On his journey of goodness
Heaven sent, God blessed

Pilgrim laughing at the world
Spreading joy
At the touch of his hand
Wiping out all the misery
Making love and history

Those of us who don't know war
We shouldn't try to make it
So many did and even more died
Do you think you could take it?

I've got a dollar deal hidden
Down in my shoe
So listen friends
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna run up
The road of mystery
Hangin' by a thread to a fantasy
A background black
Showing my face
Buried in the image
Of an empty space

I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for the sunshine

Husslin' my will

STEALIN'
Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.
Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.
Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.
Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.
