From the recording Caught in Time
Written by Roger Gabriel and myself, this is a song about the restoring power of music.
Lyrics
SWEET LIBERTY – By Jane Eamon & Roger Gabriel 2009
It’s funny how music can move me
To tears over how sweet life is
That lifting melody gets a hold of me
And I cry at the beauty of the gift
I’m caught up in the stress of living
Where everybody wants a piece of me
But when I hear a tune, a good old country croon
I’m lost in that sweet liberty
Chorus:
Sweet liberty
There’s nothing like it
The words and the music
For a moment I am free
In that three minutes
I am flying
In the arms of that sweet liberty
Sometimes I think the songs were written
With my life, my troubles in mind
I know it isn’t true, but I’m drawn into
The harmony, the rhythm and the rhyme
Bridge:
Nothing matters
Cause I know that
In that song I lose my fear
Life is easy, everything is clear
It’s the music that has brought me here
Chorus:
Sweet liberty
There’s nothing like it
The words and the music
For a moment I am free
In that three minutes
I am flying
In the arms of that sweet liberty
