Under the Winter Sun
Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face
I’ve walked through the snow where the wild deer go,
To the water, so perfect and clear.
Alone on the hill, with my shackles undone,
I feel alive, I feel alive, I feel alive.
How sweet smells the air, where no man stirs,
Up where the great eagles fly,
Alone on the hill, I’m as free as a bird,
I touch the sky, I touch the sky, I touch the sky.
So let me go, where I’m the only one,
Let me go, where my fears are undone,
Let me go where my spirit can run,
Under the sweet winter sun.
Now, who can be free in a life without choice?
Who can be free in this world?
And who can be heard when they have no voice?
Who’ll speak for them, who’ll listen who’ll learn?
And what is a man, if not just a slave,
To the land on which he toils through the day?
And what is a man who would work to his grave,
And pour his young life away?
So let me go, where I’m the only one,
Let me go, where my fears are undone,
Let me go where my spirit can run,
Under the sweet winter sun.
So let me go, where I’m the only one,
Let me go, where my fears are undone,
Let me go where my spirit can run,
Under the sweet winter sun.
