Lyrics
Unbounded
R. Mack Harrell
Some days I'm trapped inside a box
Sweatin' bullets... breakin' rocks
Seems like I'm never free until
I imagine Chapel Hill...
Who wants to spend their
life contained?
Seeking shelter from the rain
I'll spread these eager wings to fly
To a sunny Carolina sky...
Where I'm utterly unbounded...
Soaring high...but grounded
Makin' this world
Better than I found it
If I leave by seven
At dawn I'm in blue heaven
I'm a Tar Heel born
And I'm unbounded
Voices in the Carolina wind
Ask where I'm goin'...how I've been
Celebrating all that life can give
That's the way I really want to live...
(Chorus)
Morehead Building, Franklin Street
It's the perfect place to meet
Dress as you desire...
Suit and tie are not required
You're utterly unbounded...
Soaring high...but grounded
Makin' this world
Better than you found it
If you leave by seven
At dawn you're in blue heaven
You're a Tar Heel born, a Tar Heel bred and when you die-
A Tar Heel dead...at Carolina
You're unbounded...
