The first single from the upcoming debut EP 'The Surface of Things'. It's a yearning to see the world and for the first time truly feel what it's like to be free and curious.

lyrics

London & New York, I can hear the scream
Of every young man’s dream – and a restless heart
Beginning awakenings, it’s like a loaded gun
And a passionate bright young thing
That leads him to a history that plagues his mind
and a spirit that he has to find
and the Atlantic that will in good time
place this boy right at the feet of America

All I’m wanting is some freedom
Take me over, take me inside
while I’m truly still young

London & New York is another man’s land
The television screen…I can hear the scream
Of every young man’s dream, and a broken sky
And the streets and subway lines
And the influences of his time that have been made aware
As he stands outside and feels the cold night air
Than to realize that it is a mere
100 degrees outside in America

All I’m wanting
(All I’m wanting)
is some freedom
(Take me over and we’ll take it inside)
Take me over, take me inside
while I’m truly still young

He will take his sword and bravely forge his way to the Lionheart
Where the fathers of his fathers once bade goodbye
To oceans far away
To leave behind and spread the word of the kingdom

All I’m wanting
(All I’m wanting)
is some freedom
(Take me over and we’ll take it inside)
Take me over, take me inside
while I’m truly still young
