Free Again
DeSol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby show me the way
Back to the days
We were young and running free
It was my mistake
Every vow I'd break
Pieces crumbled away to sea

I let go of your hand
You drew lines in the sand
Lady of the water weeped
as we
Drifted to different seas
Oh, baby I still believe
That we could be

Free again
Far away from the words that were said
Of all the things that I still regret
Losing you is the worst of it
If we could be
free again
like it was
on the day that we met
I saw God in your eyes
That's still here with me tonight
I wish to be free again

Tell me how does it change
How does love rearrange
Fly so high
then crash to its knees
I envision you here
with the wind in your hair
running ahead of me
But that summer has gone
and the slow setting sun
doesn't want to let you leave
Even though
the tide's gone out
Oh, baby I still believe
that we could be

Free again
Far away from the words that were said
Of all the things
that I do regret
losing us
is the worst of it
If we could be free again
like it was on the day that we met
I saw God in your eyes
That's still here with me tonight
I wish to be
free again
free again
free again

It's easy bruh bruh
The animals are like us
The same way we carry genetics and DNA
They do too
We have all this history these ways of living since the creation of the earth
To the creations on the earth
God created the heavens and the Earth
We are creation just like them
The first Man was with all the animals from the ones to the sky
The land
And the sea he had the honor to be with them all in harmony
Bro were called to be beast masters
Not ensalve and be cruel to them but to be close with them and walk together but we lost that chance cause of our ancestor the First Man disobeyed the Creator our God . The truth the truth
A better way , better place
This is the way
