about

This is originally an instrumental by pianist Brad Mehldau. Steve and I wrote the lyrics, and then added a chorus section. This recording features my dear friends Kathryn Rose and Melanie Doane joining me on the chorus. It also features two outstanding solos in the second half - Reg Schwager on guitar and Chris Donnelly on piano.

lyrics

Dreams unrequited
Soul uninspired
Lost, undecided then
But now
I see
It just had to be
On the edge of real
To feel
This free

This free

You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way
You can look into your heart and see
What could happen if you felt that free

Dream, dream, dream
What your life will be
What your heart can feel
what your soul can see
Just be
Just be
What you know is true
Can you see it through?
Can you?
Will you?

You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way (feel that free)
You can look into your heart and see
What could happen if you felt that free (feel that free)

You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way
You can look into your heart and see
What could happen if you felt that free

You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way

ooh
