Watch your step, honey.

Why don't you go

say hi to Lynnie?

She's worried about you.

Lyn. Come here, Lyn.

I got to tell you something.

Did you guys have fun?

Yeah.

Thanks for calling.

You know what, Bob?

What?

I never asked you this

the whole time that I was away.

I never asked you...

Asked me what, Sherry?

Could you help me

take care of my daughter?

I can't do it by myself.

Of course I can.

What do you think

I've been doing?

I know,

but I never asked you.

Come here.

Yes.

You're gonna be okay.

You want

to come inside?

No.

You think you were worried

about Lexi.

Dean's probably waiting

by the window for his baby.

Thanks.

Oh, I will free

the bird in me,

oh, when I find my life,

what I always knew

could be,

oh, when I find my life.

I will see

the truth in me,

oh, when I find my life.

I will see

beyond the stain,

oh, when I find my life.

Fear of loss

and fear of gain,

oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

I remember

all the days of shame

and all the lies

you told me.

I have worked

so hard to learn

and come so far

in my attempts to let it go,

my dear.

And it's so easy.

I just opened my eyes.

And it's so hard

to let go.

Oh, I will free

the bird in me

oh, when I find my life.

All will be

what I want to be,

oh, when I find my life.

I am here,

and I am free,

oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.
