Free Spirit
Embracing Freedom: Ken Hensley's Journey of a Free Spirit
Lyrics
When I was young and my spirit was free to ride
Reflecting on youth when the speaker felt unrestrained and free-spirited.
No one I knew had anything to hide
During the speaker's youth, people around them were transparent and honest.
But all of this is changing with the days
Noting a shift in the atmosphere over time, signifying changes in society.
I walked into a disillusioned maze
Entering a confusing and disillusioned state, possibly a metaphorical maze of life's complexities.
Those lazy, crazy, mellow, yellow days
Recalling carefree days, now contrasted with a more complex and sophisticated reality.
Are lost in a so-called sophisticated haze
Expressing the loss of simplicity in the face of a more complicated and sophisticated world.
And I can still remember being care-free
Remembering a time when the speaker was carefree and unburdened.
And no one knows it better than me
Claiming a deep understanding of the past, emphasizing personal experience.
'Cause I'm a free spirit
Declaring oneself a free spirit, someone not bound by conventions.
And I'm looking for a place to run
Expressing a desire to find a place where the speaker can freely live and express themselves.
A free spirit on the wind
Portraying the speaker as a free spirit carried by the wind, suggesting a desire for freedom and movement.
And a free spirit needs to be complete
Stating that a free spirit needs to be whole and fulfilled.
I've got to have the world at my feet
Desiring to conquer the world and have it at the speaker's feet.
Now my time has come and I'm dealing with here and now
Acknowledging the present moment and the need to deal with current challenges.
And I'm gonna have to take care of it somehow
Expressing a commitment to address and overcome present difficulties.
And I don't intend to wait for the cover of night
Rejecting passivity and deciding not to wait for a convenient time.
The only way I know is to get up and fight
Choosing to confront challenges directly and actively.
'Cause I'm a free spirit
Reiterating the identity as a free spirit seeking a place for liberation.
And I'm looking for a place to run
Echoing the desire to find a space where the speaker can run freely.
A free spirit on the wind
Repeating the imagery of a free spirit carried by the wind.
And a free spirit needs to be complete
Affirming the need for a free spirit to be whole and fulfilled.
I've got to have the world at my feet
Insisting on having the entire world under the speaker's influence.
I'm a free spirit
Restating the speaker's identity as a free spirit.
And I'm looking for a place to run
Continuing the search for a place where the speaker can freely run.
A free spirit on the wind
Reaffirming the image of a free spirit carried by the wind.
And a free spirit needs to be complete
Emphasizing the necessity for a free spirit to be whole and complete.
I've got to have the world at my feet
Reiterating the desire to have the world at the speaker's feet.
