Freed From Desire Lyrics
[Verse]
My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no fame, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs
Want more and more, people just want more and more
Freedom and love, what he's looking for
Want more and more, people just want more and more
Freedom and love, what he's looking for
[Pre-Chorus]
Freed from desire, mind and senses purified
Freed from desire, mind and senses purified
Freed from desire, mind and senses purified
Freed from desire
[Chorus]
Nanananana nana nanana nanana
Nanananana nana nanana nana
Nanananana nana nanana nanana
Nanananana nana nanana nana
[Verse]
My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no fame, he's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs
Want more and more, people just want more and more
Freedom and love, what he's looking for
Want more and more, people just want more and more
Freedom and love, what he's looking for
[Pre-Chorus]
Freed from desire, mind and senses purified
Freed from desire, mind and senses purified
Freed from desire, mind and senses purified
Freed from desire
[Chorus]
Nanananana nana nanana nanana
Nanananana nana nanana nana
Nanananana nana nanana nanana
Nanananana nana nanana nana
[Outro]

Nanananana nana nanana nanana
Nanananana nana nanana nana
