What's it like to be free, I wonder?
I've been try'na be free, I wander
I've been trapped in these trees so long now
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
I've been try'na be free, I wander
I've been trapped in these trees so long now
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
I've got a family, they're back home in Tennessee
As I walk through these trees
I wonder, do they wonder bout me?
I left them behind, in a dark state of mind years ago
I thought I was lost but the owls
They sang me back to hope
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
I've been try'na be free, I wander
I've been trapped in these trees so long now
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
I search for home but it's unclear
I'll use the stars to guide me there
Oh, I've never been this scared
But hope's a fire that burns my fear
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
I've been try'na be free, I wander
I've been trapped in these trees so long now
What's it like to be free, I wonder?
There's no map for the halls of this fortress
Starved for light in the leaves of this forest
But there's a song that calls the chaos to order
So maybe I can be free, I wonder?
A new record from Sondre Lerche is packed full of big hooks, bigger feelings, and twinkly instrumentation more minimalist than baroque. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2020
