about

This song is a bossa about the moment when you know you're over a sour relationship and ready to move on to something sweeter

lyrics

FLYING FREE
Believe I’m making it through woke up
Touched by the sunshine
Thought I’d never get to the day
When you were off my mind
Feel as light as a butterfly’s wing
Windows open, finally spring
Catch a breeze, flying free

Dark cloud over my head let loose
With a downpour
Angry words that you said washed away
Can’t hurt me anymore
Don’t care who was right or wrong
I’m not singing that old song
Easier to be flying free

Love I’ll never understand it
All I know is no one can command it

So I’m dropping the weight I thought
I had to carry
Never was mine to take, found out
It’s not necessary
To live up to anyone’s schemes
Now I follow my own sweet dreams
As far as I can see flying free
