Run and be Free by David Haerle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every year when I was a young boy
I would spend summers in Tennessee
On Muz and Papa’s farm, rolling fields a red barn
And I would run and be free

[Verse 2]
Now back home it was a 180
For LA was a great big city
But my skateboard I’d ride, with adventure my guide
And I would run and be free

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, then life it got more complicated
Yes, when you grow up that can be
Oh, so much can get lost, those ambitions can cost
And I forgot to run and be free

[Chorus]
So into my body and outta my head
To hear and see and feel instead
Or the wonders of the world are lost on me
To place happiness outside of me
Or not rest 'til I'm a somebody
Makes it hard to run and be free
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now there’s a whole lot than can get in the way
Like tryin' to achieve certainty
Or filling my plate up endlessly
Or even trying too hard to please

[Pre-Chorus]
So have you had a light bulb moment?
The kind that opens your eyes so you see?
Made you move on your list things which you shouldn’t miss
Like time to run and be free

[Chorus]
So into my body, and outta my head
To hear and see and feel instead
Or the wonders of the world are lost on me
Demanding life give guarantees
Comparing what is to fantasy
Make it hard to run and be free
