Michael W Smith - Everybody Free lyrics

Of my young heart beating fast behind the willow tree

I was counting out loud, and 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 and 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 and run so well

When all the while we're aching to be caught and 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 and you belong to me!

...Singin' "Ollie, Ollie, everybody free!"
