LIBERTY - GRATEFUL DEAD


Saw a bird with a tear in his eye

Walking to New Orleans, my oh my

Hey, now, bird, wouldn't you rather die than

Walk this world when you're born to fly?


If I was the sun, I'd look for shade

If I was a bed, I would stay unmade

If I was a river I'd run uphill

If you call me you know I will

And if you call me you know I will


Ooh, freedom

Ooh, liberty

Oh, leave me alone

To find my own way home

To find my own way home


Say what I mean and I don't give a damn

I do believe and I am who I am

Hey now mama come take my hand

Whole lotta shakin' all over this land


If I was an eagle, I'd dress like a duck

Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck

If I get a notion I'll climb this tree

Or chop it down and you can't stop me

Oh, chop it down and you can't stop me


Ooh, freedom

Ooh, liberty

Oh, leave me alone

To find my own way home

To find my own way home


Went to the well but the water was dry

Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky

Looked in the bottom and what did I see?

The whole damned world looking back at me


If I was a bottle, I'd spill for love

Sake of mercy I would kill for love

If I was a liar I'd lie for love

Sake of my baby I'd die for love

Sake of my baby I'd die for love


Ooh, freedom

Ooh, liberty

Oh, leave me alone

To find my own way home

To find my own way home


Ooh, freedom

Ooh, liberty

Oh, leave me alone

To find my own way home

I'm gonna find my own way home

I'm gonna find my own way home







"Help On The Way"


Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames

She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame

Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun

Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone


Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost

Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king

I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key

Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see


Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today

Don't fly away, 'cause I love what I love and I want it that way

I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you

Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true
