This song was penned by by husband, Tim Burcham right after our first trip to South East Asia. For me personally, I felt like a kid again in a big exciting world! So many new sounds, smells, tastes and ways of life! It also made me realise you can find family and connection in any part of the world, even if those worlds are completely different.
lyrics
I’ve had no rest, ’Til I’ve walked your streets again.
I’ve pushed through mire, To walk your streets again and
I’m Finally free, Finally free, Walking your streets again
I’ve sailed through skies before, Clouds like blankets, slip into dreams
Wake to see the 2 of you, Fall apart at the seams
I’m Finally free, Finally free, Walking your streets again
I’m weightless and warm again, Floating and free again
Like swimming upstream to a pool full of foreign friends
We heard a song again, Played out by foreign hands
A girl finds her soul in familiar lands.
Sweet morning light, To mark the day again
A gentle sunrise, To match your peace within
Finally free, Finally free, Walking your streets again
I’m weightless and warm again, Floating and free again
Like swimming upstream to a pool full of foreign friends
We heard a song again, Played out by foreign hands
A girl finds her soul in familiar lands.
M8:
If you think we’re free, Wise in our own conceit.
Let me take you there, Let’s together walk these streets
I’m weightless and warm again, Floating and free again
Like swimming upstream to a pool full of foreign friends
We heard a song again, Played out by foreign hands
A girl finds her soul in familiar lands.
Lanterns push back the night, a small and persistent fight
Like a dignified heart that shines out her light
