Lyric

Walking along, my spirit is barefoot and free

An innocent heart doesn't need any shoes to see

Fueled by the fire of longing that burns inside

How far can we run, with nowhere we need to hide?

A cornered mind gets rounded by hitting the wall

Learning the curves and the boundaries after the fall

I’m sending a silent applause to the growth that you show

Watching the strength in your spirit begin to grow

Rather than staring at textbooks to find what is true

Gazing right into the world is what smart people do

Speaking its truth, the spirit is naked and bare

An honest heart doesn't need any mask in the air

Fueled by the love that is turning the shadows to bright

How far can I run to defend you into the night?

A hardened mind gets softened when tears start to flow

Watering roots in the desert to help them grow

I’m pushing your back as you run through the rain and the dust

Giving my silent support to the soul that I trust

Rather than longing for mansions of silver and stone

Gazing at clouds as they travel is better alone

That’s how a life turns to joy on its own

Chasing a dream, we are running as fast as we can

Blinded by sweat as we follow the blueprint and plan

But there are the moments the sweat will betray what we made

Leaving us lost in the cold where the promises fade

Rather than staring at textbooks to find what is true

Gazing right into the world is what smart people do

Rather than longing for mansions of silver and stone

Gazing at clouds as they travel is better alone

That’s how a life turns to joy on its own

Barefoot and free

Gazing right into the world

Under the traveling clouds

I’m sending my silent applause
