The Elephant Is Free

about

I was exploring the idea of how life beckons me into the pursuit of something greater, as well as my longing for freedom, symbolized by the circus elephants. I wrote this song as a reminder to myself that wherever I am, whatever I think I am limited by, I am in actuality free.

lyrics

She's standing on the starting line
waving to me the whole time
wears her pom poms to bed
sleeps the sleep of the dead

In the basement with loves first kiss
calling me to come
fragile as the waist of a bee
everything to me

sends a million notes to me everyday
touches me in every way
holds eternity and she's in love with me
she whispers the elephant was always free

Her laughter flows through my veins
all her streets have just one name
she's the sun in the sky
clouds are just passing by

Sends a million notes to me everyday
touches me in every way
holds eternity and she's in love with me
she whispers the elephant was always free

She's standing by to bring the feather of Rosemary home
Rosemary follows the music
Rosemary follows the music

Sends a million notes to me every day
touches me in every way
holds eternity and she's in love with me
she whispers cause she's the whisper in the tree
The elephant is free
