about

My personal favourite on this album. I suppose its about the possibilities of working together in our love for the natural world and the pain we feel when it is threatened and harmed.

lyrics

Are you as free as the bird on the wing?
Are you to make love? Have you freedom to sing?
Do you believe you can do anything
If you want to?

Have you swum with the salmon? With the swiftest deer run?
Have you soared with the eagle right up to the sun?
And with the lark in the morning have you sung out your song
To the world?

Does smiling come easy? Does you laughter flow free?
Do you cry when you see suffering and pain, like me?
Does the love in your heart match the depths of the sea
And the ocean?

I've sat on the hill felt the trees growing round
Seen the stars in the sky and felt joy all about me
I've smiled and felt the whole world smiling with me
Have you?

Does smiling come easy? Does you laughter flow free?
Do you cry when you see suffering and pain, like me?
Does the love in your heart match the depths of the sea
And the ocean?

I am as free as the bird on the wing
I have freedom to love I have freedom to sing
Together we can make real every thing
That we want to

We shall swim with the salmon, with the swiftest deer run
We shall soar with the eagle right up to the sun
And with the lark in the morning we shall sing out our love
To the world
