Released - Glen Phillips

Clouds rumble, earth will shift

Walls tumble and hearts will skip

Things changing

Everywhere but here

Small window, tiny room

Sun hits in the afternoon

For one minute fills this space

Beautiful, illuminated

When I am released

And the gates fly open before me

When I am released

Will you still be waiting for me?

Some look and all they find

Are problems and alibis

But my cup is one sixteenth full

I’m getting there, but the getting’s slow

When I am released

And the gates fly open before me

When I am released

Will you still be waiting for me?

When I walk outside, I will see the sky

I will leave all this behind when I walk outside

Sun to warm my skin, friends to take me in

When I walk outside

When I am released

And the gates fly open before me

When I am released

Will you still be waiting for me?
