about

I love performing this song live. I love the way Wiley makes the guitar reflect sounds in nature, and how the band fully connects with the meaning of it. Literally, every time I perform this song, the band flies with me, and it's a beautiful experience.

lyrics

i never could consent to keeping the caged bird down by the river.
i never was content keeping the clipped wings along the bow

Take me to the river
where I can stretch my skin.
Take me to the ocean
where it all began.
Take me to the mountain
and I will kiss the sky.
Take me to the canyon.
and I will fly.

i never could consent to keeping the free will behind the bars.
i never was content with the bricks, cement, and tar

Take me to the river
where I can stretch my skin.
Take me to the ocean
where it all began.
Take me to the mountain
and I will kiss the sky.
Take me to the canyon.
and I will fly.

Take me to the river
where I can stretch my skin.
Take me to the ocean
where it all began.
Take me to the mountain
and I will kiss the sky.
Take me to the canyon.
and I will fly.
