In a Google chat w/Mike Pinder I asked the meaning of this song but he turned it back & asked, “what does it mean to you?” Quite appropriate I guess. I later read that he had penned it for Dr Timothy Leary who had been busted for possession of mj in TX, same place where I had also been arrested....
Time... quickly passes by
If only we could talk again
Someday I know I'll see you smiling
When you're a free man again
High... on a mountain side
We laughed and talked of things to come
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You left your country for peace of mind
And something tells me you're doin' alright
How are the children and Rosemarie
I long to see you
And be in your company
Someday I know I'll see you smiling
When you're a free man again
I often wonder why
Our world has gone so far astray
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You gave love freely to those with tears
Your eyes were sad then you saw the need
You know that love lasts for eternity
Let's be God's children
And live in perfect peace
Peace perfect peace
Perfect peace
Peace
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When you're a free man
When we're all free men again
When you're a free man
