Lyrics Never Quite Free - The Mountain Goats

Never Quite Free

It’s all good to learn that right outside your window\nThere’s only friendly fields and open roads\nAnd you’ll sleep better when you think\nYou’ve stepped back from the brink\nAnd found some peace inside youself\nLaid down your heavy load\nIt gets all right to dream at night\nBelieve in solid skies and slate blue earth below\nBut when you see him you’ll know\nIt’s okay to find the faith to saunter forward\nWith no fear of shadows spreading where you stand\nAnd you’ll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you\nAnd the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land\nIt gets okay to praise the day\nBelieve in sheltering skies and stable earth beneath\nBut hear his breath come through his teeth\nWalk by faith\nTell no one what you’ve seen\nIt’s all good to learn that from right here the view goes on forever\nAnd you’ll never want for comfort and you’ll never be alone\nSee the sunset turning red let all be quiet in your head\nAnd look about, all the stars are coming out\nThey shine like steel swords\nWish me well where I go\nBut when you see me you’ll know
