I'm gonna find the things I treasure
Some that's old and some that's new
Have the freedom of the north wind
Free to fly away like a bird up in the blue

I wanna hover above the mountains
See the things the good Lord made
Taste the fruit of love and kindness
'Cause just a small amount has been surveyed

Turn me loose so I can find
A woman's love, the taste of wine
Don't hold on to fence me in
If you do, then goodbye friend

Let me feel the earth below
Fire and wind and rain and snow
I'll count my blessings one by one
When I turn to face the sun

Free and peaceful like a white dove
When he's ready to unfold
Need no roof to get up under
'Cause heaven shelters me everywhere I go

Made mistakes that I can't number
Hard to reap the seeds I sow
Life's a mighty raging river
And I'm searching for a place to overflow

Turn me loose so I can find
A woman's love, the taste of wine
Don't hold on to fence me in
If you do, then goodbye friend

Let me feel the earth below
Fire and wind and rain and snow
I'll count my blessings one by one
When I turn to face the sun
