lyrics

Oh how good it is to be free
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it quite like me
Look at me! I've got a smile on my face
Come on my friends, let's all go celebrate

It really took me by surprise
You know I had no alibi
I clearly am the guilty man
The blood is still on my hands

Oh, what a joy to be free
Who would ever have guessed it could happen to me
Look at me. I've got a smile on my face
Come on my friends, let's all go celebrate

My execution was at hand
Until they chose another man
What a strange twist of fate
To be set free by the very ones I hate

Oh, it's still hard to believe I am free
Could it be the grace of God shining on me?
Look at me. I've got a smile on my face
Come on my friends. Let's all celebrate

But freedom doesn't come so easily
I still carry chains in my memory
Where's a man like me to go from here?
What's a man to do?
Maybe I need a change in career

Well, popular opinion says I'll never change
A criminal I'll always be
Well I've had it with these escapades
I've had it with these chains
I'm going to find me a peaceful trade

Oh, what a good feeling to be free
I'm going to enjoy it before someone takes it from me
Look at me. I've got a smile on my face
Come on my friends, let's all go celebrate

about

Dale Lund Vancouver, British Columbia

I was born into a creative family, where jam sessions and art days were part of the fabric of our growing up. Faith in our one true Creator is the weave that held it all together. I've been writing songs since my teens. I like to tell stories in my songs. In each story is a glimmer of the grace held out to us in all aspects of life. I hope as you listen, you will hear and see it. ... more
