lyrics

In a sea of blue and white
I found myself, I found my light
There is nothing left for me here
Close my eyes it disappears
Finally I have found
A way to be free

I often question myself, is this what I want?
And if he were still here
I know what he'd say
That life's beautiful, just look and see
Hold on to your heart
And show the world
That you are

Free
Free from all the things that others can't see
And when life beats you down
Jump a little higher
I will always be right here
Open your eyes
Let the dark disappear
And when life beats you down
Jump a little higher

When day turns to dusk I float away
Into those castles that you said we'd visit someday
The sky is home, it is where I want to be
I saw you there,
And you looked at me

In your eyes I am

Free
Free from all the things that others can't see
And when life beats me down
I'll jump a little higher
You will always be right here
I'll open my eyes
Let the dark disappear
And when life beats me down
I'll jump a little higher

White falling snow
Sent to me to hear the stories of our life below
You know here, things get pretty low
But just make it through the night and you will see
The morning's glow

I look into the sky
I can see
Something
I'll always be
Free
I look into the sky
I can see
Something
I'll always be
Free

Free
Free from all the things that others can't see
And when life beats me down
I'll jump a little higher
Free
Free from all the things that others can't see
And when life beats me down
I'll jump a little higher
Free
Free from all the things that others can't see
And when life beats me down
I'll jump a little higher
