Lonely are the free
Coz there ain’t tha many of ‘em
They don’t walk like you and me
They just tumble in the breeze
Lighter than a feather all together separately
That’s how it supposed to be,
no matter where they wander
from post to in-between
from here to over yongder,
there’s no place for them to land
Lonely are the free
The silent are the strong,
not so much as a whisper
Tell ya everything is wrong
You’ve known all along
that you can’t help but listen
And now the moment’s gone
It keeps you hanging on
until the stillness signaling
the breaking of the dawn
Is shattered by the sirens
singing sacrificial songs
The silent are the strong
That's all they used to see
A violent shadow passing 'cross
The sun so fleetingly
That if you have to ask you miss it
Anyway you see
Lonely are the free
