Let me run through a field in the night 
Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight 
Let me sway like the shade of a tree 
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea 
Wish me on my way, through the dawning day 
I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill, 
Wanna grow in a grove on the side of a hill 

I don't care if the train runs late, 
If the checks don't clear, 
If the house blows down 
I'll be off where the weeds run wild 
Where the seeds fall far from this Earth-bound town, 
And I'll start to soar, watch me rain till I pour 

I'll catch a ship that'll sail me astray 
Get caught in the wind I'll just have to obey 
'Till I'm flying away 

Let me leave behind all the clouds in my mind 
I wanna float like a wish in a well, 
Free as the sound of the sea in a shell 

I don't know but maybe I'm just a fool, 
I should keep to the ground, 
I should stay where I'm at 
Maybe everyone has hunger like this, 
And the hunger will pass, 
But I can't think like that 

All I know is somewhere through a clearing, 
There's a flickering of sunlight on a river long and wide, 
And I have such a river inside 

Let me run through a field in the night, 
Let me lift from the ground till my soul is in flight, 
Let me sway like the shade of a tree, 
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea, 
Wish me on my way, through the dawning day

Wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill, 
Wanna grow on the side of a hill 
Wanna shift like a wave rollin' on, 
Wanna drift from the path I've been traveling upon, 
Before I am gone.
