Be Free
Elevation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard her say
She can't stay awake
For one more revolution
Baby what's your solution?
What good would it do?
It's just another fair weather day
With not too much to say
And no point in conversation
About that new revelation
Cause it was all just a dream
And nothing seems fair at all

The world still turns as you sleep
So just let it be
Come on be free
Yeah it's all right to believe
In the things you can't see
Come on be free

What if we all
Tore down the walls
And built a revolution
Maybe that's the solution
But what good would it do
Remember the day
When we all just stayed awake
With anticipation
About that new revelation
But it was all just a dream
And nothing seems fair at all

The world still turns as you sleep
So just let it be
Come on be free
Yeah it's all right to believe
In the things you can't see
Come on be free

Don't you stop if it makes you happy
Don't you wait on a brighter day

The world still turns as you sleep
So just let it be
Come on be free
Yeah it's all right to believe




In the things you can't see
Come on be free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Elevation's song "Be Free" explore themes of disillusionment and the desire for change while acknowledging the struggles that come with it. The first verse embodies the feeling of being stuck in a cycle, where the world keeps turning despite one's ongoing exhaustion. The question of what can be done makes it explicitly clear that the singer feels powerless in their circumstances. As the song progresses, it shifts gears and imagines a newfound hope for change. The proposal to tear down walls and build a revolution is a call to action, but the lyrics caution that this optimism might merely end up being just another dream. Nonetheless, even if the efforts for change fail, the chorus insists that it's important to continue to believe in the possibilities beyond the tangible, and to be free of the limitations imposed by the world.


The song's distinctive sound also heightens the message of staying true to oneself while recognizing the world's limitations. The guitar riff that begins the song is energetic and captures the sense of urgency in the lyrics. The chorus is anthemic, with a full sound backing the lyrics urging individuals to discover freedom in their beliefs--even if they cannot "see" them. Later on, a peaceful, reflective moment showcases the power of stripped-down instrumentation as the song heightens the message of the world's continuing motion. For listeners who might feel weary or lost in the midst of the world, Elevation's "Be Free" affirms that autonomy can still be found when fighting to see beyond the realism of day-to-day life.

β€œI wasn’t holding you so I couldn’t let you down.....”That line literally removes all the pressure we put on ourselves to perform. We cannot disappoint God because He already knows that we are flawed and He loves us anyway! Jesus came so that He could remove the disappointment and shame from us and God could see us without blemish β€οΈπŸ™ŒπŸΎ
