Drew Dillon - Free Lyrics

With the sun still rising over Stormont's Parliament buildings this morning
Some pray for an eleventh hour political intervention
We're here to pray
When we go in
We need to pray that they form a Government

Bare feet on the cold floor at the start of day
Warm sheets and the place where I've just laid
The room hums, the city down below I've got nowhere to go
The fourth floor only allows as far as I can see
My front door can stay locked so easily
My lamp light can bring my days around
In that time not a sound

How you doing kid?
You've been staying hid for a while
Go easy my child

But think I'll go outside
I think I can hear you
Sorry if I was missing
I just wasn't able to
I think I'll go outside
Hey can you see me?
I'm making a small noise
It's sounding like I am free

It is a very sad day and I know some people will seek to celebrate today
And I would say to those people think of those of us who are sad today
And who believe that this is an an affront to human dignity and to human life

My stairwell reaches up and a long way down
My front door, it can lead to the rest of town
The door creaks and sunlight creeping in
Whispers, Hey where ya been?
How you doing kid?
You've been staying hid I could see
Now go easily

But think I'll go outside
I think I can hear you
Sorry if I was missing
I just wasn't able to
I think I'll go outside
Hey can you see me?
I'm making a small noise
It's sounding like I am free

I think I'll go outside
I'll go outside
I think I can hear you
Can you hear me?
Sorry if I was missing
I was missing, I was lost, now I'm found
I just wasn't able to
It sounds like I'm free
I think I'll go outside
I'll go outside
Hey can you see me?
Can you see me?
I'm making a small noise
I was missing, I was lost, now I'm found
It's sounding like I am free
It sounds like I'm free

And that was that and that was us
No big drama no big fuss
A new sun rises at Belfast dawn
And ears still ringing from this scrappy little fight song
And those who hold the ground beneath
That never saw this day
We'll tread light, but march when needed
We'll continue to pave the way
And to those who needed hope and to those I hold dear
I hope we're all waking up today more equal and a little bit freer

Before the bar spills out into the street at 3 am or so
And I need a man to lean upon while I wait to get my coat
Across the dance floor you'll walk up to me
Will you take me with you?

Take me home
