I forget how and when I first heard Free by Mike Errico.
It’s a song that I really like.
It speaks volumes to my involvement with the counsellors and psychs from my younger days on Canadian Forces Base Griesbach.

Mike Errico – Free
They sent me here to rest
to get the weight off of my chest
while they work 9 to 5
cheat on husbands and wives
and tell me I’m the one who’s depressed
And I’m left to define what’s insane
to the same folks who jailed Galileo
and explain him away
They
who are we
who are wondering which one of us
is free
free
free
free
I went places you just don’t go
I saw things you can’t tell them you know
And if they’re smiling stark naked
sometimes is just wiser
to compliment the cut of their clothes
And know they define what’s insane
based upon what makes them look good
at the end of the day
They
who are we
who are wondering which one of us
is free
free
free
free
But I’m the one chained to the bed
That’s just proof I got into their heads
And I witnessed their colourless landscapes
Saw the lovers who were too bored to stay
And walked the grey roads of their memories
that just stop at the end of the page
They’re a little too sad to hate
They’re just children who ran
out of paint
I’m up for review in a month
and I’ll watch them drink water from crystalline glasses
They’ll sit and stare like smoke damaged chairs
around a smouldering pile of ashes
And I’ll try to define what’s insane
to the same folks who consistently kill those
with something to say
They
who are we
who are wondering which one of us
is free.
free
free
free
yeah
free
free
