I brought you to the river

to watch the fish swim by

and lay around that grassy bank

and breath in that blue sky


I brought you to these waters

to see what you could see

the difference in the two worlds

cant help but frighten me


But darlin, its been a long time

since Ive seen you smile that way at me

darlin, just feel the warmth here

happy's not the word

you make me free


I brought you to the mountians

to watch the clouds float by

the wind here gives me shivers

the freedom makes me cry


and being with you darlin

forget what we have not

just being at the top here

if theres anyone, theres a god


But darlin, its been a long time

since Ive seen you smile that way at me

darlin, just feel the warmth here

happy's not the word

you make me free

(Make me free now)


I gave you my decision

reguardless wrong or right

the hills, they make me feel good

they make me feel alive


Like singing with my family

on Sunday afternoon

like laughing in the morning

wrapped up tight with you


But darlin, its been a long time

since Ive seen you smile that way at me

darlin, just feel the warmth here

happy's not the word

you make me free
