Hi, Folks -

From their 1974 fourth studio album, "Mother Lode", here are Kenny Loggins (1948-) and Jim Messina (1947-) with the second track, "Be Free", written and with lead vocal by Messina.

Thanks to YouTuber foggy4180. Lyrics courtesy of www.metrolyrics.com are below the clip.

I can see the world a'changing
I can see it re-arranging
Happening before my very eyes

Everywhere the cements growing
In the street the traffic's flowing
Ruining the air up in the skies
Is no surprise

I want to get away and live my life
Near the rivers and trees
I want to spend my days making wine and be free
Be free (Be free, be free)

I can hear the cities calling
Come on down I can feel you falling
Happening for all of us to see
See the deepening cement hollow
Reaching out for those who follow
Hunkering on far too many lies
Is no surprise

I want to get away and live my life
In the rivers and trees
I want to spend my days making wine
And be free (be free, be free) and be free

From the winds so far away
I've had an inner vision
I've seen the universe unfold
I can hear the school bell ringing
From the yard the children singing
Merrily life is but a dream

(Misheard lyrics)
In the street there go the brothers
Selling slow and ship to others
Aiding those who's songs have turned to cries
Is no surprise

I want to get away and live my life
In the rivers and trees
I want to spend my days making wine
And be free, and be free, and be free (be freee )

Songwriters
Jim Messina
