about

For Joshua Colley. the coolest kid who ever lived. You loved my art, and it saved my life. Thank you.

lyrics

I read the lines
and from his mouth
came zealous vows
of noble observances profound

he said to me
in language so discerning
"all I wish is to be free;
to be loved and to be free"

and it isn't hard to find me
and it isn't hard to find me

his noble heart
with thundering disquiet
beats in time
with impassioned riot

promises
are shell cases
scattered out of reach
and morals we avow
to teach ourselves
to learn

he said to me
in language so discerning
"all I wish is to be free;
to be loved and to be free"

and it isn't hard to find me
and it isn't hard to find me

mind is racing
awake and alive
with the thoughts
of ten thousand freedoms
and the freedom to be
released from bonds impugned by poverty-

"all I wish is to be free;
to be loved and to be free"

and it isn't hard to find me
and it isn't hard to find me

and it isn't hard to find me
little chances to be free

and it isn't hard to find me
there'll be peace on earth when kill the kings

and it isn't hard to find
and it isn't hard
and it isn't hard
and it isn't hard to find
and it isn't hard
to be free.
