Inside Lyrics
Toad The Wet Sprocket
Free my heart to feel again
Free my mind to understand
To run undeterred
Pull the blinders from my eyes
Let me see the endless skies
And drown here where I stand
In the beauty of the land
Chorus:
And all my life
It lay inside
For all my life
Tear this anger from my soul
Wash me clean and leave me whole
Leave me higher
Work my hands to make them strong
Lift my arms to carry on
That anywhere I go
To never be alone
Chorus
We were always leaving
Since we started breathing
And running back no wonder
We are torn asunder
To give me life (2x)
