Lyrics

Liberty

I heard of a woman, her name it was Liberty- I wondered if she was real
When I was a kid I heard stories about her, ad wondered how her love might feel.
I heard that her beauty was worth more than any one man was prepared to defend
I wondered if I could ever grow up to be worthy of Liberty's hand

Time it went by, I forgot all about her, I wandered and rambled through years
Instead of my freedom found fear
I turned alone into some kinda lonely, that nothing and no one could touch
Found out that nothing meant more than just empty, and nothing can hurt you so much

It wasn't easy, but somehow I managed to lose any hope that I had
I don't know why, but before it gets better, sometimes it just has to get bad
Just when I finally gave up on everything I saw sweet Liberty's face
Who'd ever dreamed I meet her at that very dark bottom of my fall from grace

I stood before her in broken humility, shamed by what I had become
She didn't turn away, she only held me, and suddenly I felt so young
I asked her if I could stay with her even though I felt quite sure she'd refuse
She only said in the kindest of whispers, "We all get the life that we choose"

If you see Liberty, tell her I love her and I'm still out here on the road
I do believe she's the fairest of beauties, and many a soul have I told
Stories of my journey down into darkness, and all that I just had to lose
So I could get to the place where I finally let Liberty teach me to choose
