Freedom lyrics

Let me show you my emotions

Tell you how I feel

Hear my simple notions

To me they're very real

Can't you see they've got it wrong

Set their morals high

But it all comes down to one simple fact

In the end we all die

So why can't we be free to do what we please

Oh be free, get up off our knees

Stop this facade, this silly game we play

We set these rules which we can't obey

It's not real, this ain't how it should be

This can't be life if we must pay a fee

Break the chains and throw down the book

Give me a chance to give back what they took

Please take in what I tell you

Don't throw it away

For the wisdom of God

Is mine for today

You live every hour with a lover by your side

But when morning has come

You still have secrets to hide

So tell me what you're feeling

Let me touch your inner soul

The reason I'm here

Is to make you feel whole

So quit your inhibitions

The morals of this world

Forgot to think of one small point

I'm a boy and you're a girl

And we should be free to do what we please

Oh be free, get up off our knees

Stop this facade, this silly game we play

We set these rules which we can't obey

It's not real, this ain't how it should be

This can't be life if we must pay a fee

Break the chains and throw down the book

Give me a chance to give back what they took

I said what I had to say

Said what makes me tick

If you've listened to me thoroughly

Then you and I are quits

I may not have changed the way you think

But at least I've had a try

And I know that I'll have peace of mind

When I die
