For Free

Well, I've been lost and

I've been a stranger in my own skin

for some time and I can't count

for you the lives that have come through

this soul there's no danger in accepting

uncertainty still

I know you fear for me you say if I keep

giving for free who's gonna buy

I can be the teacher and also learn

the lesson I can toss the details

but I can get lost in them too sometimes

I know black from white but

I'm still discovering gray and

I know you're just like me

you're just like me

giving for free who's gonna buy

I've been without grace and

I watched you get it back for me

Have I all this time been standing here waiting?

seems such a simple thing

not to let it go so easily

but sometimes you're taking

when you're giving

when you're giving for free who's gonna buy
