They gave me money to find the sky 
And I took it with no question 
Didn't even ask them why
 
But days are open
And skies are free
And the time it took to learn that
Didn't leave its chains on me
 
I lived in shadow
Way from the sun.
And the tremblin' in my  mind
Kept my heart and body on [bad word]  
Then freedom called us 
Called out our names 
And the beckon of the highway 
Saw through all our useless games
 
The love we wanted 
Was lost in lies 
And the chance that slipped on by me 
Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes
  [bad word]  
Then we took the rise together 
For the first time in our lives 
Feeling just like one suspended 
Then we said time won't  keep our strife
 
Our time is open 
For us to see 
And our freedom schemes are open 
like the seagulls soaring at the sea
 
And our freedom schemes are open 
like the seagulls soaring at the sea
