Lyrics
When I knew the truth
Of my youth and my longing
Shadowboxing with the walls
Of exile and belonging
I was choking on the answers
In response to all my questions
It seemed clear that someone chose
What’s right and wrong
I was taught how to believe
But I knew there was more
Than they had shown me
I was bursting at the seams
Getting high from all my dreams
I knew just what it was that I needed
Freedom
Let me find my own way
Freedom
To fly high or fade away
Freedom
It’s the only thing I need
To think for myself
Freedom
Burning through the years
I found all of my riches
In my love, my kids, my friends
And work that made me proud
But everywhere I turned
There were men that tried to curb
My dreams and preach
What was allowed
They told me what was best
For me and all the rest
Self-righteous and greedy
They were holding on to power
And tried to make me cower
But I knew just what it was that I needed
Freedom
Let me find my own way
Freedom
To fly high or fade away
Freedom
It’s the only thing I need
To think for myself
Freedom
Freedom
Let me find my own way
Freedom
To fly high or fade away
Freedom
It’s the only thing I need
To think for myself
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
