The Brigadoon System - Presence Lyrics

Oh, oh
I wanna write a song
A song where skies are blue
Where my heart feels at peace
And the past is quiet too
I wanna feel myself let go
I wanna grow into my wings
To be here with this moment
And finally be part of the scene
I wanna be free
I wanna dance within the freedom
The chains are left behind me
So why do I feel they stay?
I wanna run where freedom's calling
And take it by the hand
But as I sit here in the present
I'm still there in the past
There's so much beauty that surrounds me
And I try to take it in
To soak it deep into me
Feel it in my skin
But the water carries whispers
Of the things that used to be
The sun reveals the shadow
That always follows me
I wanna be free
I wanna dance within the freedom
The chains are left behind me
So why do I feel they stay?
I wanna run where freedom's calling
And take it by the hand
But as I sit here in the present
I'm still there in the past
I'm slowly getting stronger
I move forward every day
But though it's grasp is loosening
It never fully goes away
I wanna be free
I wanna dance within the freedom
The chains are left behind me
So why do I feel they stay?
I wanna run where freedom's calling
And take it by the hand
But as I sit here in the present
I'm still there in the past
I'm still there in the past
I wanna be free
I wanna dance within the freedom
The chains are left behind me
So why do I feel they stay?
I wanna run where freedom's calling
And take it by the hand
But as I sit here in the present
I'm still there in the past
As I sit here in the present
I feel the echoes of the past
