On the Loose

Did you ever watch the sunrise turn the sky completely red,

Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your bed

Did you sit and talk with friends, through a word was never said

Then you're just like me and you've been on the loose.

Chorus:

On the loose to climb a mountain,

On the loose where I am free.

On the loose to live my life, the way I think my life should be,

For I've only got a moment and a whole world yet to see.

I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose.

There's a trail that I'll be hiking just to see where it might go.

Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know,

For in following in my dreams, I will live and I will grow,

On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose.

So in search of love and laughter, I'll be travelling cross this land

Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't got any plan,

So in time when you are ready, come and join me and take my hand,

And together we'll share life out there on the loose.

Thanks very much to both Mary Thomas and Micki Pagan, who have sent me more verses to this song! I believe this is the order they go in:

In this world that I am traveling, I will think of you this way.

Remembering your smile, for it seems like yesterday

When we slept beneath the stars, and we dreamed about this day

Now we have come together on the loose.

Do the trees in the forest make you sit and think of love?

Does it take you twenty times or more to count the stars above?

For I'm here now and I like it and the hours melt away,

And if I want I'll stay here another day.

As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight softly fades,

I am thinking of tomorrow and the friendships we have made.

I will value them for always and I hope you'll do the same,

And forever we'll explore life on the loose.

Now the moon is softly glowing and the stars are twinkling bright

Our laughter and our friendship have cleared this cloudy night

Come and join our flickering campfire, come and sing our happy songs

And together we'll share life out on the loose.
