Where were you ?
When the plane went down
When the president was born
When they founded this town
She was standing out back
She could hardly hear the band

My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand

Have you seen
The parade in her eye
Hungry & hot
Like the fourth of July
What is it about her
That you don't under stand

My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand

Don't look back now guys
As she waves and she gets small
With those sweet wings that beat
Those sweet wings at night
It ain't no choice at all

Are you cool and dry
Are you keeping warm
Shadow boxing
This thunder storm
Write me and tell me
Where we fit in what is planned

My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand

Brother...
You can't lose that feeling,
You can't give your life away.
Like a bird of freedom,
You ain't got no dues to pay.
'Cause they need you bad,
...need you bad...
For what they never had.
...never had...
I want you to know,
...you to know...
That it's alright to flow.
...alright to flow...
Yes it alright brother.
....ooooh-oooh
Yes it alright
No-nooo.
Let your love shine brightly,
Let it burn right through my veins.
Brother...
Like that bird of freedom,
You ain't got no blues today.
Brother...
'Cause they need you bad,
For what they never had, brother.
...never had...
I want you to know,
...you to know...
That it's alright to flow.
...alright to flow...
Baby.
Away from everywhere.
Ooo, can't you see that they want ya,
They need ya, so bad baby.
For what they never had, now.
...never had...
I want you to know,
...you to know...
That it's alright,
...alright...
No it's alright,
Alright to flow.
Alright...
Oh brother, my brother.
Away from everywhere, no na na na.
Why would I stop you?
Why would I lie?
Why would I break this feeling?
When we're almost there.
Away from everywhere.
'Cause I wouldn't do this
Lord if I tried.
Why would I break this feeling?
When we're almost there.
Away from everywhere.
'Cause not in a million,
Lord if I tried.
Why can't I have you near me?
When we're almost there.
Away from everywhere.
Take to the skies and fly.....
....Why can't we have this feeling?
Take to the skies and fly.....
....Why must we stop this feeling?
...oooohh...
