Sorting through some memories, tucked away in a pinewood box-
Scraps, snapshots and pieces of a time that's gone and lost

I don't know where the years have gone,
but the memories have found their home in me

We three friends were reckless,
we were rebels without a clue,
Ryan and James were outlaws, and there was nothing we wouldn't do

Having fun and skipping school,
doing things just to break the rules... be free

Yeah, I was a part of something,
something bigger than life,
yeah I was a part of something, so full of pride and strife.
Something in my heart keeps taking me back in time
to place where I can be free

I remember my first slow dance and a song that played
too short, the time that I got busted for sneaking out after dark

I was young and she was too, but to me the dawn came way to soon... be free

Yeah, we were a part of something,
something bigger than life,
yeah a part of something, so full of pride and strife.
Something in my heart keeps taking me back in time
to place where I can be free

Be Free

I cried the night that I got the word that Ryan's car
didn't make the curve, It's so much to say good bye...

Yeah, now I'm a part of something,
something bigger than life,
a part of something, farewell to my pride and strife.
Something in my heart keeps taking me back in time
to place where I can be free

So free
