Freedom Inside

[Verse 1]
This summer's not the summer you own
Not till the day you're old and grown
And the cracks on your face can tell a tale
Of finding freedom

Stuck in your hopeless vanity
The cameraman can only see
A glimpse of the person you might be
The day that you get free

[Pre-Verse]
When your younger rules are set
Some you know some you've never met
How they try to make you forget
The way you're born to be

[Verse 2]
This fall is not the fall you own
Not till you need a cane to roam
Not till the chills a melody that plays your freedom

Holding the poses yеar to year
With every framе a different fear
The cameraman can almost hear
The cry of the wannabe

[Chorus]
Wear me down
Wear me in
Take these worries off my skin
There's a knowing deep within
I'll be fine

Spin it round on this wheel
Time will test and time will heal
There's a freedom to this deal
Opened wide
Inside

[Verse 3]
This spring is not the spring you own
Not till you've felt the new light blown
Bursting from every stone to stone
A rush of freedom

Time will tell as you breeze by
Then stop to see the firefly
And maybe even wonder why
He gets to roam the sky

[Pre-Verse]
When your younger rules are set
Some you know some you've never met
How they try to make you forget
The way you're born to be

This winter's not the winter you own
No, the air's frozen you to the bone
Not till your laugh drowns out the tone
Of walking the snow alone

[Chorus]
Wear me down
Wear me in
Take these worries off my skin
There's a knowing deep within
I'll be fine

Spin it round on this wheel
Time will test and time will heal
There's a freedom to this deal
Opened wide inside
Inside

Wear me down
Wear me in
Take these worries off my skin
There's a knowing deep within
I'll be fine

Spinning round on this wheel
Time will test
And time will heal
There's a freedom to this deal
Opened wide
Inside

There's a freedom to this deal
Opened wide
Inside
