	Story Behind the Song My friend Cleavland Bob told me to just Embrace all of who I was,and not try to avoid the things I didn't like or categorize the different things I was.{Father,musician,recovering addict ect} The song was recorded in a couple takes but later I came in a revamped the verse chord structure over Ray's groovy bass line.Our producer Todd Ensminger added the loops which in turn inspired me to sing the line "love will set you free' over the loops. The guitar solo is inspired by Adrian Belew. Lyrics Embrace Words: Regan L. Barger Music: Barger/Hartman Copyright 2002{ASCAP} Cleveland Bob’s a friend of mine He’s got this crazy dream Surfing on the crystal sunny waves On certain days I envy him He’s put the past away Buried inside its’ deep dark grave Embrace the things U know that U should be Embrace the hope that love will set U free Love will set U free Melanie’s a friend of mine She’s got this bright red hair I tease her that she is my circus clown She doesn’t see herself the way I see her every day She says I pick her up she’s underground Embrace the things U know that U should be Embrace the hope that love will set U free Love will set U free I don’t know just who I’m supposed to be I don’t know if love will set me free Here I go just talking about myself Maybe I can put me on the shelf Maybe put my ego on the shelf And see that I am free and life is good for me. My sister Ronda is my friend It’s been that way for years Went to dinner just the other night. We shared our dreams we shared our tears We shared our simple fears I guess that makes us equal that’s all right Embrace the things U know that U should be Embrace the hope that love will set U free . Embrace the things U know that U should be Embrace the hope Love will set U free Love will set U free I don’t know just where I’m supposed to turn I can’t remember all the bridges burned Here I go just talking about myself Maybe I can put me on the shelf Maybe put my ego on the shelf
