what is free  

oh i know no one's gonna change the world
winter will come. what can i do?
the wind will blow through 

it's so hard for me to see the bright of things
watching the earth, how we're wearing her down,
jewels in a crown you've never seen     

oh mercury
send a message to my love for me
i am burning like a candle
rolling like the sea
learning what is free

there's a light in the night when the moon is full
fill up the tide, tears for my eyes,
water from the sky 

oh i know there will be a morning sun
I'll take in the host swallow the night
carry that light when day is done     

oh mercury
send a message to my love for me
i am burning like a candle
rolling like the sea
learning what is free          

you and i, we come and go
we live and die but the river flows...
