Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom

Good Afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!

Busy schedule today has led me to being in "catch up" mode... and it is still Noontime in the Mountain Time States, so this will be a Noontime Music Interlude for R.E.D. Friday! For this interlude, I have chosen a song based upon a request from one of our RP members and it is Michael McDonald performing his song, "Sweet Freedom"!!! I believe you will all enjoy this rendition...

Lyrics
No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a different drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart?

Always searchin' for the real thing
Livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key when you believe it

Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be

Oh, sweet freedom, carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Smilin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never done
Goin' all the way

Reachin' out to meet the changes
Touchin' every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There's no turnin' back from what I'm feeling

Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be

Oh, sweet freedom, carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

'Coz there'll be starlight all night
When we're close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they're guiding us
Shinin' till the mornin' light
