Lyrics
FREE HAWK FLY
[v]
Can you change these arms to wings and free me?
Lift me with a sudden, summer breeze
We'll glide above the tips of the trees
Follow the river, you and me, down to the white caps of the sea
[Partial CH:]
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
[v]
Friend - I watched you battle
Til the end of your war
Dragged down by drugs and alcohol
I should have done something more
[CH:]
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
We're sentenced at birth
To be chained to the earth
Now I raise my eyes to your kingdom in the sky
[Rise]
Can you change these arms to wings and free me?
And are you the one I'm dying to see? Are you now free?
[CH:]
