To Be Free

Vineland New Jersey
 Farmland stretching
 Far as the eye can see
 Not much down there but
 Sun scorched pastures in 1953
 The war was over and they came searching
 For a place to be
 Left the Rheinland they lost their homeland and all their family
 Like feathers on the ocean breeze
 They went spinning and tumbling across the sea
 Never know where they'll come down
 Or who'll they be
 ♪
 Like Heather on the hillside
 They where bruised and they where battered by the breeze
 Searching for a place to be free
 ♪
 Sunburnt summer frostbite Winter
 Kids were plainly dressed
 Left the farmhouse when he was old enough and
 Headed out west, from California
 to southern Africa, and all the way to France
 And on to England to meet my mother in 1981
 A feather on the ocean breeze
 He went spinning and tumbling across the sea
 Never knowing when he'd come down
 Or who he'd be
 ♪
 Like Heather on the hillside
 He was bruised and he was battered by the breeze
 Searching for a place to be free
 Oh like a seed that is flying in the
 wind in search of water, soil and sun
 And the birds and the bees to have it all along

 Now here I am 33 years down 2017
 Seen the Rheinland I've been to vineland I'm a feather on the breeze
