Free Swinging Soul

Lyrics

On father's day, these branches sway
 Like evergreen batons
 I'm climbing up to the rhythm of their song
 My vision clears; I feel him near
 A summer wind blows
 Father please conduct this breeze
 Send my free swinging soul
 Searching more into my core
 Out on this limb of life
 To the aging rings where all things harmonize
 Through time I hear the muted fears
 Too heavy now to hold
 Time will teach my voice to sing
 Send my free swinging soul
 Heaven is all around, translated to sound
 And the more I hear, the deeper I dig down
 I keep digging down
 Where his ashes lay
 Where the needles decay
 Seeds take hold, and I'll grow
 'Til I free my swinging soul
 On father's day my children play
 They're climbing up to slide
 Through the future they will seek and hide
 And when they look to me in their memory
 Will this melody unfold?
 Father please, through these trees
 Send my free swinging soul
