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
