Story Behind the Song
'Unbound' reflects the coming of age and its transition from an age of innocence into the independence of a self-liberating spirit....the once youthful heart now unbound to a new calling.
Lyrics
The big sky's falling as the rain comes down
Springtime showers on the thirsty ground
Sunlight sparkles on her hair so brown
And leaves me awed by all the sights and sounds
And she says, "Look at you, boy, look what the child has found"
Mother and Father have four kids grown
Sister Sadie has two of her own
Look at me, I'm older now
The trouble is I don't know how
And she says, "Look at you, boy, look what the child has found"
He's come unbound; unbound to a new voice
And it sounds like a new rhythym in my head
She says, "I look at you, boy, and I see the child has come unbound
Six years later and married now
The hills are greener and bursting with flowers
Sunlight sparkles on her hair so brown
Like a voice of thunder only softer now
And she says, "Look at you, boy, look what the child has found"
