Rather Be Free - Heather Maloney

Don’t let him know you, don’t let him see

The graze on your head and the scars on your knees

Scars on your knees

And don’t let her know you, don’t let her see

The tears in your eyes when you’re not a machine

Not a machine

We didn’t know how to be

I ran with my brother to the swing between the trees

We had no roles to rehearse

We flipped a quarter to see who would swing first

We didn’t know how to be

I could go higher, I’d touch the sky

With my feet

But you don’t let him know you, you don’t let him see

You’re a thinker and a fighter and a captain at sea

Captain at sa

And you don’t let her know you, you don’t let hr see

You’re a lover and a dreamer in the passenger seat

Passenger seat

We didn’t know how to be

I ran with my brother to the swing between the trees

We had no roles to rehearse

We flipped a quarter to see who would swing first

We didn’t know how to be

I could go higher, I’d touch the sky

I could go higher, I’d touch the sky

I could go higher, I’d touch the sky

With my feet

But you don’t let them know you, you don’t let them see

You’re tired of pretending, you’d rather be free

Rather be free

Sky

Sky

I could go higher, I’d touch the sky
