about

Also written in Banaue about a man I met who was paralysed in the midst of majestic mountains, unable to step outside. When we made the 5 hour long journey, we shared with him that freedom doesn't have to be constraint to being outside.

lyrics

I lay my head beneath a world of leaves and skies
Though I haven't stepped outside for several years
These prison bars that hold me and the shackles on my shins
Are holding me firm to these sheets

Even though my arms are weak and my fingers have grown thin
I cling to all the words that fall into my hands
The waterfalls that crushed me as the water rushed towards me
Are the hands that will bring healing to my soul
And now I'll finally…

Run.. Even though
I haven't left my bed for several years
And I'll move several miles
Even though my feet will never taste the earth

A life time ago, even though I swam in oceans
I wasn't free till I was a broken man
I had feet to kiss the earth and hands to caress the stones
But now I'm given wings to stir the sky

Rivers flowing fast but not fast enough to find me
Will cease to flow long before I'm gone
Second chances fill my second handed heart
A hundred reasons not to go to sleep
And now I'll finally…
