About this song:

This tune is about grace. It's about the yearning to sing and to be whole and free and to realize that no matter how challenging, this being alive thing is a gift.

lyrics

Yours For Free

Song # 67 | March 1983, revised Nov. 2000 | CD: Eyes On The Horizon

I see you in the distance, my friend,
You’re a songbird on the wire
You’re an actor, dressed in grace
You’re an early morning flyer
High above the ground,
You cannot keep from singing
A brand new tune is found
It starts the world to ringing
This day is a lovely day
And it is yours for free

Light and darkness contend
And beauty represents the few
The sadness in folks’ eyes
Surely need not be explained to you?
But even captured and concealed
The song continues rising
Until it’s finally revealed
There can be no compromising
This day is a lovely day
And it is yours for free

Vision catches your breath
Leaves you leaping and alive
Sparkling through a cloud
It’s a new way to survive
And at last the fear is lost
Now you stand here unbroken
Giving no more thought to cost
For the truth has finally spoken
This day is a lovely day
And it is yours for free…

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
