Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

If I Were Free

If I were free

I would run into battles with flowers and hugs

And bow at the boots of our well-oiled thugs

Yes, if I were free

If it were me

I would yell out "I love you!" to all I passed

I would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask

Yes, if I were free I'd be the 'U' that crossed the 'I' to simply 'b'

Minding our reflections at the bottom of the sea

What did you see?

I saw that you and I forever have been free

The light became too heavy and I fell into a dream

What did you dream?

I dreamed a wind that would sweep

Every castle made of sand

Out across the old far holy land

Oh, if this were free

If this were free

We'd be free of the terror of the graves

And fear masquerading as the brave

Oh, if this were free

I woke upon a pig of red, white and blue

The circus got too heavy so we fell into the zoo

What did you feel?

I felt the fear that every queer does in his head

First thing to starting over, I made sure I was dead

What did you dream?

Swimming with ancients, laughing, tired of getting lost

We took our left, remember, when we leaned upon the cross

What did you see?

I saw that you and I forever have been free

The light became too heavy and we fell into a dream
