can you stay mindless of the drive inside
when outside is calling the love of your life
float down the nile with a snake on your crown
or down the ohio through the muck of the town

come to the soul of your deepest intention
cast down the arms you hold on your own
fly your sight free of self imposed pressure
your life's yours to love whom you feel in your bones

embrace whom you are and love whom you will
to deny yourself this would be the worst ill
stand on your mountain and eject your head
i've come to kiss your cold heart of lead

i'll tie you to freedom

the lion inside you must leave the pride
you pick your own pickings and stand by their side
don't go underground for fear you'll be seen
show what you've got you can always show me
