Set Me Free
Rea Garvey & Jam & Spoon Lyrics

Wake up see the morning light
Open your eyes and take a look at the world in the daylight

This is you
This is your life

This is today
This is the present moment, the only time that matters

You try so hard to get it right
You put in a lot of effort to make things perfect

Can't help thinking somewhere you lost your way
You feel lost and unsure if you're going in the right direction

When was the last time
It's been a while since

You saw a smile?
You witnessed genuine happiness in someone's face

There's a scream on every silent face you see
Even though people may seem quiet, there is internal turmoil and pain

They're singing set me free
They want to be liberated from their struggles and problems

I got a friend
Someone I am close to

Who burns like a fire
Who is passionate and intense

Says there's only one thing you'll ever know
You can only truly know one thing

It's out there somewhere
It exists in some distant place

Way past the sunset line
Far beyond the horizon that marks the end of the day

Way out on the open road
On the journey of life with endless possibilities

And me I'm always looking down
I am always searching and contemplating

Down that road out of town
On the path that leads away from the familiar and comfortable

Each morning and night
Every day, at the beginning and end of it

You can see me
I am visible and present

I'm singing set me free
I am also longing for liberty

Set me free
Liberate me from my burdens

Goodnight auberge
Goodnight to the resting place

I leave you now
I must depart

You must sleep
You need to rest

While I work the day
While I am busy with my responsibilities

Till I return
Until I come back

To dream of you
To reminisce about the times spent there

Through the night
During the quiet hours of darkness

And that free, freeway
And the freedom of the open road
