Before you get out I want you to know You get so many lives in just this one Sometimes you’re a roller Sometimes you’re the stone Sometimes you’re an avalanche in whole
But you can be wild horses on that hill You can be wild horses You can stop at will And you will
Before you get out on your one way I’ve got a ticket waiting for you under any name You can be holy or a roller, oh anything But whatever you choose — stay
Yesterday happened just exactly as it did You can’t go back and undo it You’re not a knot you’re not a dead end Don’t ever forget You’re a living thing
“Freedom is what you do with what With what’s been done to you”
Before you lay down in this place Remember you can see a blackbird A thousand ways You can be a soldier You can be the snow Under the boots of an army with miles to go
And you can be white horses on that hill You can be white horses You can carry heaven until
Yesterday happened just exactly as it did You can’t go back and undo it You’re not a knot you’re not a dead end Don’t ever forget
You are a body of work — Edit it You are electric — So sing it
“Freedom is what you do with what With what’s been done to you”
