Break Loose Your Bonds

Break loose your bonds

Do come and paint with me
on the heath, in the potato field
come and walk with me
behind the plough and the shepherd
Come and sit with me
looking into the fire
let the storm that blows across the heath
blow through you

Break loose your bonds

I do not know the future
in what way it might be different
if everything should go smoothly with us
but I cannot speak differently

Don't seek it in Paris
don't seek it in America
it is always the same
forever and exactly the same

Break loose your bonds

Change if you will
but it is in the heath you must look

Break loose your bonds

Don't seek it in Paris
don't seek it in America
it is always the same
forever and exactly the same

Break loose your bonds
