Free

Here as I sit in this lonely square

This train of thought runs through my mind

I like it best when the choice is mine

I want to be free to speak my mind

And if I cry I want no-one to be there (be there)

Free to do what I want to do

And you should share this freedom too

If I lie it must be for a reason

We’ve come a long way now

There’s still a way to go

And still we’re moving onwards

For all that you might think we are innocent

Innocent people

We are free

I’m working hard

I’m looking for the week-end

Oh! my good god

How the work is hard

And when it’s down to getting home

We don’t know what to do - do you

I hurry home

All the people seem to hurry

Don’t push me on

I think for myself

We move as one

We like to keep it all together

I take it all

No problem at all

I’m a page in the book

Oooh take a look

I’m a part of the whole

All my body and soul

I want you to know I’ve cried me a river

Why can’t this taker change into a giver

Why can’t I work it out

I want to be free

Free in what I’m choosin’

Free with no excuses

Free to see the people

And to move ooo! ooo! ooo!

Free to choose my lover

Free to choose my brother

Free to need another

And I do - I need you

I’m having a ball

I’m part of the wall

No-one sees me at all

I’m asking for one dance

I know that there won’t be a second chance

There’s no return

I’m ready to burn

I think I’ll never learn

I’m looking for direction

What I need from you is real protection

I’ve done my best

I’ve failed the test

I don’t care about the rest

Won’t someone set me free

Free in what I’m choosin’

Free with no excuses

Free to see the people

And to move! ooo! ooo! ooo!

Free to choose my lover

Free to choose my brother

Free to need another

And I do - I need you
