In my basement,
Stroking my bass.
Figuring myself out,
Finding my place.

Life is open,
Life is free,
I am the only one,
That controls me.

My mind used to be,
A scattered mess.
Sleeping beauty,
With nightmares of distress.  

I had some problems,
I know I still do.
But at least I can smile,
And say that it's not you.

Or was the problem trust,
I don't really know.
But that's just fine,
I've let everything go.

I run in the wide open,
I run cause I'm free.
Being the only person I want to be,
That's me.

Some people take a glance,
Some people turn and stare.
They see me so relaxed,
Seeing how little I care.

I ran through an orchard today,
To enjoy the breeze.
Stopped for the apple,
In the highest tree.

As I climbed to top,
I noticed I had some guests.
Some lovely girls staring at me,
Like a newly desired dress.

I smiled to myself
But didn't give them attention,
I let them watch me,
As I hung there in suspension.

I climb in the open,
I climb cause I'm free.
I got to the top,
Of the apple tree.

I raised my arms up,
As the wind flowed through me.
A moment in time,
With no fee.  

I got my apple,
And ate it up there.
Nature and I,
The perfect pair.

I descended from,
The apple tree.
Walked away from the girls,
As they stared transfixed by me.

I am open,
I am free.
The world is mine,
Just like the highest apple tree.
