Liberty Bound
Unveiling Freedom's Journey: Liberty Bound by Dave Dobbyn
Lyrics
It's a living - can't wait to
Expressing the challenges of life, anticipating meeting someone alive and well.
See you alive and well
Anticipation of seeing someone alive and in good health.
Then we'll know what freedom is
Hope that experiencing someone's well-being will reveal the true meaning of freedom.
You've been dying - so have you chosen a gun
Acknowledging someone's struggle or suffering, questioning their choice in handling it.
Oh God - will we ever learn
A plea or lamentation about humanity's slow learning process, especially in the face of suffering.
It's a long long way -
Highlighting the considerable distance or difficulty in life's journey.
It's a long long time to be human
Emphasizing the extended duration of being human, with implied challenges and hardships.
And heaven knows who'll be
Uncertainty about who will experience true freedom.
Allowed their freedom
Raising questions about the accessibility of freedom for individuals.
You could be Liberty Bound in your lifetime
Potential confinement or restrictions on liberty during one's lifetime.
With a conscience that could see you through
Having a moral compass that can guide through challenges and restrictions.
Liberty Bound in your lifetime
Reiterating the theme of potential constraints on liberty during one's lifetime.
With a conscience that could see
Reemphasizing the role of conscience in navigating through life's challenges.
You through your life if you want it now
Encouragement to seize freedom in the present moment if desired.
God knows you'll be allowed your freedom
Assurance that freedom will eventually be granted.
It's survival - more it's the
Survival and the ability to grant life hold significance.
Power to give a life
Attributing power to the ability to give and sustain life.
Then we'll know what freedom is
Reiterating the connection between giving life and understanding true freedom.
You've been dying so you've chosen the gun
Repeating the theme of choosing a path, possibly involving hardship or conflict.
Oh God! - will we ever learn
A lament about humanity's slow learning in the face of suffering and conflict.
It's a long long wait
Highlighting the prolonged wait for a positive change or realization.
And given all who'll be
Uncertainty about who will be granted freedom given the challenges.
Allowed their freedom
Persisting questions about the accessibility of freedom for individuals.
Liberty Bound is your lifetime
Reiterating the possibility of being bound by constraints during one's lifetime.
With a conscience
Connecting conscience with the potential to set someone free.
That could set someone free
Highlighting the transformative power of a conscience in freeing others.
If you want it now
Encouraging the immediate pursuit of freedom for oneself or others.
You could set someone free in your lifetime
Emphasizing the potential to liberate someone in the course of one's lifetime.
