From the recording Blood and Beer and Poetry (Download version)
Many people think of being in love and in a relationship as being restrained or held down, but the song 'Freedom Calling' takes a different point of view. The song describes finding love as stripping away fear and pain, and celebrates love as a joyful change giving freedom from loneliness and emptiness.
Lyrics
Freedom Calling
It's in the air, it's blowing in the wind
Storm and lightning come to signal the change
It's in the blue sky, as the clouds are forming
Like a heartbeat telling me I'll never be the same
Along the road I almost lost my way
Without love a man dies slowly
Strip away the fear and strip away the pain
You taught me how to not be lonely
Chorus
I hear the sound of freedom calling
It's on the wind, freedom's calling my name
I hear the sound of your heart beating
It's in my blood, and I know I'll never be the same
Remembering that night up in the Rockies
I still can smell the cool mountain air
That sleeping bag was barely big enough for two
The ground was hard but we didn't care
Lying there with your head on my chest
Trying to count the stars in the sky
If I could make time stand still just once
We'd still be there, yes, you and I
Chorus
I believe I found salvation
You saved my soul, and now I'm ready to fly
CHORUS to FADE
