Story Behind The Song
Making an album was a dream of mine, but I was too scared to admit it and had plans to go into business school. One day, after making a decision to record some songs ?just for the hell of it?, this song just came to me and I knew then ? that I should stop thinking too much about ?what happens if? and what people would think of my songs and just, well? be free!

Lyrics
Be Free
When everything you've dreamed about turns out so differently
When all your wishes and your fears look all the same to me
The sky is black, the moon is red; the king's not wearing clothes
Things so underestimated? Aren't they really gold?
Chorus:
Be free and begin to live your life
Don?t be scared to see and listen to the rhythm of your heart
Do try to open wide and see
Only then you will be free
They say you couldn?t read a person through his work of art
Then why do interpretations always tear my songs apart?
I?ve searched my soul so many times; I've dived so very deep
And now I know that I'm awake and you're just all asleep
Chorus
Oh, nothing ever breaks anymore
Oh, why don't you come up to the door?
Oh, even if we want, we can't make the time stop!
Blinded by the light, we close our eyes and feel the world reaching in
Now it's our time, we will not stay in place or hold our breath and we will
Be free and begin to live our lives
Won?t be scared to see and listen to the rhythm of our hearts
Will try to open wide and see
Only then we will be free
Chorus
