Hey, child, listen to me
Didn't anybody tell you, you could be free
Hey, child, I'm calling your name
You don't have to be the same
Hey, child, listen to me
Didn't anybody tell you, you could be free
Hey, child, I'm calling your name
You don't have to be the same
As you've been, as you've been before
No, nothing anymore
You're gettin' tired of runnin' around
Always gettin' lost and never gettin' found
It doesn't have to be that way
'Cause you can come to Jesus today
Hey, child, listen to me
Didn't anybody tell you, you could be free
Hey, child, I'm calling your name
You don't have to be the same
Hey, child, listen to me
Didn't anybody tell you, you could be free
Hey, child, I'm calling your name
You don't have to be the same
No, as you've been before
No, nothing anymore
I know you maybe don't believe what I say
But what I'm tellin' you, it's true anyway
Jesus only wants to be your friend
He'll give you freedom that will never end
So, hey, child, listen to me
Didn't anybody tell you, you could be free
Hey, child, I'm calling your name
You don't have to be the same
You don't have to be the same
You don't have to be the same
You don't have to be the same
