If I had children and grand children, this is the message I would want them to hear. To live life fully, to be true to yourself, to do what you love, and to love... and let your heart be free.
So, for all the children... not yet corrupted by prejudice, politics, dogma, racism, and fear... maybe anyone, of any age, who can let go of past negative influences that warp the mind with hatred, bigotry, and irrational ideas... maybe this is a message for anyone who has an open mind, an open heart and can still think for themselves.
Maybe I wrote this song for the child in me... hoping that child still has a chance...
This song was written and played with my beautiful Ebi Ukulele. (http://www.ebiukuleles.com)
Lyrics
Let Your Heart Be Free
you can climb the highest mountain
or cross the widest sea
just set your mind to do it
and let your heart be free
you can master every talent
looking for the key
just do what you love
and let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
you may be a hero
or a cat sittin’ in a tree
just spread a little happiness
and let your heart be free
let your ears hear the music
let your voice sing out loud
let your feet dance to the beat
and let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
do everything you can do
do everything to be true to you
true to you
true to you, true to you
true to you, true to you, to you
let your mind be open
let your eyes see what can be
let your hands hold others hands
and let your heart be free
you can make a difference
to everyone you meet
let your love shine all around
and let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
oh, let your heart be free
