To Be Free Lyrics by Passenger Passenger
Below, you will find the lyrics for To Be Free by Passenger.
Vineland, New Jersey
Farm land stretching
Far as the eye can see
Not much down there, but sun-scorched pastures in
Nineteen-fifty-three
The war is over
They came searching
For a place to be
They left the Rhineland, they
Lost their homeland, and
All their family
Like feathers on the ocean breeze
They went spinning and tumbling 'cross the sea
Never know where they'd come down
Or who they'd be
Like heather on the hillside
They were bruised and they were battered by the breeze
Searching for a place
To be free
Sun burn summers and
Frost by winter
Kids were plainly dressed
Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
Headed out west
From California to Southern Africa
And all the way to France
And on to England to meet my mother in
Nineteen-eighty-one
A feather on the ocean breeze
He went spinning and tumbling 'cross the sea
Never known where he'd come down
Or who he'd be
Like heather on the hillside
He was bruised and he was battered by the breeze
Searching for a place
To be free
And like a seed
That is flying in the wind
In search of water, soil and sun
And the birds and the bees
To have it all along
Now here I am
Thirty-three years down
Two-thousand-seventeen
I've seen the Rhineland, I've
Been to Vineland, I'm
A feather on the breeze
