Everybody Free
Michael w. smith/ chris rice
"i belong to you & you belong to me. your unconditional love overhwelms me."
The longing in my heart has stirred a faded memory
Of my young heart beating fast behind the willow tree
I was counting out loud, & i only peeked a time or two
And the only purpose in my life was finding you
Singing, "ollie, ollie, everybody free!"
Now was i chasing you or were you chasing me?
We all grow up & put away our childhood games
But deep inside i wonder if we really change
'cause i'm still seeking, though i've learned to hide so well
And i can still remember how it felt
Singing, "ollie, ollie, everybody free!"
Will i ever find someone pursuing me?
And then you caught me by surprise
I found my tears are in your eyes
I hear my heart inside of you
At last i've found somebody who
Can free my soul
And love me too
I can't believe we hide so long & run so well
When all the while we're aching to be caught & held
But it's only in surrender that our freedom comes
And so i run abandoned to your waiting arms
Singing "ollie, ollie, everybody free!"
I belong to you & you belong to me!
...singin' "ollie, ollie, everybody free
