free my heart

ecclesiastes: free my heart

the sun rises and the sun goes down
and hastens back to the place where it rose
that from thence it may rise again
finding all things wearisome unsatisfied
my eyes not satisfied with seeing,
my ears unsatisfied with hearing
wondering of that which is now
that which has been
and that which is to be
for my time on earth i pay so dearly
for my past
confusion embraces my heart
for to know self is to forgive self
on my sojourn of truth

free my heart, so my soul may fly
free my mind,
of my worldly wants and desires
i look towards heaven
with my arms open wide
take my hand, come and take my hand

sadness fills my heart
too weak to get by,
slave to discontentment and self-pity
one generation passes
and another generation comes
but change abides forever
i come forth from my mother's womb
and naked shall i return
to the earth to go as i came
taking nothing of this supposed worldly gain
i'm so ready to go

free my heart, so my soul may fly
so my soul may fly
free my mind,
of my worldly wants and desires
i look towards heaven
with my arms open wide
take my hand, come and take my hand

free my heart, so my soul may fly
so my soul may fly
free my mind,
of my worldly wants and desires
i look towards heaven
with my arms open wide
yes i do
take my hand, come and take my hand

come and take my hand

heaven awaits me
life everlasting

heaven awaits me
life everlasting

free my heart, so my soul may fly
so my soul may fly
free my mind,
of my worldly wants and desires
of my worldly wants and desires
i look towards heaven
with my arms open wide
i'm so ready
take my hand, come and take my hand
i'm so ready to go

free my heart, so my soul may fly
fly
free my mind,
of my worldly wants and desires
i look towards heaven
with my arms open wide
come and take my hand
take my hand, come and take my hand

come and take my hand, baby
come and take my hand
come and take my hand
free my heart baby

come and take my hand

free my heart
come and take my hand baby.
