~ On the Loose ~

Have you ever watched the sunrise turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your bed?
Do you sit and talk with friends, 'though not a word is ever said?
Then you're just like me and you've been on the loose.

[chorus] On the loose to climb a mountain
On the loose, where I am free
On the loose to live my life
The way I think my life should be.
For I've only got a moment
And the whole world yet to see.
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.

There's a trail that I'll be hiking, just to see where it might go
Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know
For in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow
In a world that's waiting out there on the loose.
[chorus]
So in search of love and laughter, I am traveling 'cross this land
Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't any plan,
But in time when you are ready, come and join me, take my hand,
And together we'll share life out on the loose.
[chorus]
If you think you hear my laughter in the whisper of the pines
If you still love sailing on a lake, I know you're doing fine
If you sing with kids 'round campfires, you're still a friend of mine
And my spirit will go with you on the loose.
[chorus]
