Let's light fires to sear the reflection our eyes
Let's carve knives to tease our's still hearts
Let's scream foul words they tried to purge from our minds
Let's run wild in the streets they told us not to roam
Let's drink through our emotions and react despite warnings
Let's dance until we cause the Earth to tremble
Let's stroll through the path of oncoming trains
Let's balance on bridges, teetering with the waves below
Let's swim deeper than we should dare and kiss the depths
Let's run at the barrel of the gun
Let's sing to the song playing beneath the crust of the Earth
Let's sleep in the center of the road
Let's be free until the trees weep and the skies bleed
Let's be free until the petals droop and the water boils
Let's be free until the darkness glows and the silence screams
Let's be free until the air tears our lungs and the blood broils our veins
Let's be free
