About This Song: (lyrics below)
This tune is about grace. It’s about the yearning to sing and to be whole and free and to realize that no matter how challenging, this being alive thing is a gift.
Yours For Free
Song # 67 | March 1983, revised Nov. 2000 | CD: Eyes On The Horizon
I see you in the distance, my friend,
You’re a songbird on the wire
You’re an actor, dressed in grace
You’re an early morning flyer
High above the ground,
You cannot keep from singing
A brand new tune is found
It starts the world to ringing
This day is a lovely day
And it is yours for free
Light and darkness contend
And beauty represents the few
The sadness in folks’ eyes
Surely need not be explained to you?
But even captured and concealed
The song continues rising
Until it’s finally revealed
There can be no compromising
This day is a lovely day
And it is yours for free
Vision catches your breath
Leaves you leaping and alive
Sparkling through a cloud
It’s a new way to survive
And at last the fear is lost
Now you stand here unbroken
Giving no more thought to cost
For the truth has finally spoken
This day is a lovely day
And it is yours for free…
