To Be Freed Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

Hazel O`Connor - A. Karner 

I was drowning in my anger and my mystery, 

someone once told me 

it's a diver you must learn to be 

so I dived to the bottom of the ocean 

I made friends with the things that 

I feared, and didn't I rise to the tides 

and I was freed 

I was climbing up the mountain with 

My excess baggage getting me down, down, down 

My strength had all deserted me, mistakes 

They weigh so heavily, Lord I fell to the ground 

Then I looked inside my suitcase full 

Of trouble and strife and all my victories 

And sorrows of my past life and didn't I rise 

and I was freed 

I was dreaming we were eagles, flying 

high, high to the edge of the sky 

we vowed before the universe, stars 

lit the space like some great church 

where many candles shine 

and your eyes were bright and firey 

like the day that we met, I remembered 

how I felt before our war made me forget. 

And didn't I rise to the sky 

and I was freed 

Now I realise, these obstacles 

that we find - are teachers and the guides - 

in my life, in my life, in my 

I still love you, and I know 

you still love me too 

To be freed...
