Story behind the song
No big story here, I am afraid to say. Just my take on current events, but from a more faith-based perspective.... the 50,000 foot view if you will.
Lyrics
With a picture of the open pastures
Far beyond this wall
The hills, the lakes the valleys captured
Lost to this great fall
Reaching out beyond our borders
We stretch our hands with power
Not with might from this world order
But strength born for this hour
Be free, be seen, and be heard
Be strong, be true to your word
Lift, pass the darkness of this wall
Rise up and cast off the pall
Lift pass the darkness of this wall to the light
We have been made to be free
Envisioning the grey geared machines
They’ve clammed up our hearts
The sunlight in the sight of our minds
Eclipsed and held apart
Stretching out beyond our prisons
Our eyes lift to the sky
Why work we another’s mission?
Let’s do yours and mine
Be free, be seen, and be heard
Be strong, be true to your word
Lift past the darkness of this wall
Rise up and cast off the pall
Lift past the darkness of this wall to the light
We have been made to be free
