Lyrics

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, 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 in pain

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 in pain – 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' out and free!
