Take it by your silence That I'm free to walk out the door By the look in your eyes I can tell You don't think I'll be back for more Try to think of the world Where you could stay and these safe hands could go Take your heart above the water Wherever I choose to go No love without freedom No love without freedom No love without freedom No freedom without love Even when you don't see me Even when you don't hear I'll be flying low below the sun And you'll feel it all out here No love without freedom No love without freedom No love without freedom No freedom without love No love without freedom No love without freedom No love without freedom No freedom without love Standing here in silence The world in front of me Holding you in my hand And seeing as you'd see No love without freedom No love without freedom No love without freedom No freedom without love No freedom without love
