Lonely are the free There aren't that many of the them And they don't walk like you and me They just tumble in the breeze Lighter than a feather altogether separately That's how it's supposed to be No matter where they wander From past to in between From here to over yonder There's no place for them to lean Lonely are the free Silent are the strong Not so much as a whisper Tells you anything is wrong You've known all along But you can't help but listen And now the moment's gone Keeps you hangin' on Until the silence signalin' The breakin' of the dawn Is shattered by the sirens Singin' sacrificial songs Silent are the strong That's all there is to see A violet shadow passin' Across the sun so fleetingly That if you have to ask You miss it anyway You see lonely are the free
