Hayes wasn't one to really do much thinkin'
Spent a lot of time with his head in a cloud
Or indulging in some good ol' original sin
Hanging around with a belligerent crowd
He thought he was on top of it all
But now he does a lot of listening to lost souls
No longer feels the need to bang his head on the wall
He once thought he was too big to feel pain
Didn't realize everybody can hurt
Found himself in a roomful of losers one afternoon
Hearing what he needed to hear
Hearing what he needed to hear
And finding freedom
Hayes doesn't feel like he's alone anymore
Spends a lot of time with junkies and thieves
Who, like him, are no longer fighting the war
Against themselves and the comfort that deceives
Larry & Ken & Charlene couldn't stop heeding the call
Of whatever it was they used to try to fill up the holes
Now they can fill their needs without having to fall
All of them once thought they were the only ones to feel pain
Didn't understand everybody can hurt
Sharing coffee and confessions on a sunny afternoon
Hearing just what they need to hear
Hearing just what they need to hear
And finding freedom
Finding freedom
Finding freedom
Being free
Truly free
