[Verse 1]
As I wake up every day
With no new songs to play
Feelin' like I ought to
Pack my bag and run
My imagination flies
To some other sunny skies

But it doesn't seem the same
When the clouds shut out your
Beauty from my eyes
There's a storm inside my head
And I know it doesn't lead
To a clearer day when nobody will cry
[Chorus]
I can't stand here alone
And I need to be free
Free
[Verse 3]
So bring fire and bring steel
For you know the way I feel
Bring a silver horse to carry me away
I'm no stranger, I'm a friend
And my pain will never end
Till the world will let us
Live our lives as one
[Chorus]
And our time is our own
And our hearts can be free
[Outro]
I wanna be free, yeah
I wanna be free yeah, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
I gotta be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free, yeah
