Chris Madin[]

I’m falling free in the wind, in the wind
Free to be me in the wind, in the wind
What would it feel like to be speed of light
And rule the night and day
Watch as it passes by you, the masses try you
But they just can’t keep up
Into the free, into the me
Into the ever knowin'
Felt so refrained,
Felt so constrained
But now I’m breaking out and
I’m falling free in the wind, in the wind,
Free to be me in the wind, in the wind
Beg, borrow, steal, you made your deal
And with no hesitation
Crawl, walk, or run, you’ve had your fun
Of which is very certain
Into the free, into the me
Into the ever knowin'
Felt so constrained, felt so to blame
But now I’m breaking out and
I’m falling into the free, to the free
Free to be me I am free, I am free
I'm free
Free
I’m falling free in the wind, in the wind
Free to be me in the wind, in the wind
What would it take for you to make
A simple speed transition
Into the known, from the unknown
And feed this wild temptation
Into the free, been starving me
Into the ever knowin'
Felt so constrained, felt so ashamed
But now I’m breaking out and
I’m living in, in the free, in the free
Free to be me, I am free, I am free
I’m falling free in the wind, in the wind
Free to be me in the wind, in the wind
I'm falling free in the wind, in the wind
Free to be me in the wind, in the wind
I’m free

Crush 40 Version[]

I'm falling free
In the wind, in the wind
Free to be me
In the wind, in the wind
What would it feel like to be speed of light and rule the night and day?
Watch as it passes by you, the masses try you but they just can't keep up
Into the free, into the me, into the ever-knowing
Felt so refrained, felt so constrained – but now I'm breaking out and
I'm falling free
In the wind, in the wind
Free to be me
In the wind, in the wind
I'm breaking out (I'm breaking out)
Beg, borrow, steal – you've made your deal, and with no hesitation
Crawl, walk, or run, you've had your fun, of which is very certain
Into the free, into the me, into the ever-knowing
Felt so constrained, felt so to blame – but now I'm breaking out and
I'm falling free
In the wind, in the wind
Free to be me
In the wind, in the wind
I'm breaking out (I'm breaking out, I'm breaking out)
I'm free (Free, free, free, free, free, free)
I'm free and breakin' out
Free (Free, free, free, free, free, free)
I'm free and breakin' out
(breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin' out)
What would it take for you to make a simple speed transition?
Into the known from the unknown, and feed this wild temptation
Into the free, been starvin' me, into the ever-knowin'
Felt so constrained, felt so ashamed – but now I'm breakin' out and
I'm livin' in (Free, I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
In the free, in the free (I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin' breakin' out)
Free to be me (Free, I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
I am free, I am free (I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin' breakin' out)
I'm falling free (Free, I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
In the wind, in the wind (I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin' breakin' out)
Free to be me (Free, I'm breakin' breakin' I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
In the wind, in the wind (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin' out)
I'm breakin, I'm breakin'
I'm breakin, I'm breakin'
I'm breakin, I'm breakin'
I'm breakin' out and free!
