To Be Free

To Be Free

 

There’s a star in the night
There’s a life in that light
And we all do our best

    • to protect it.

When the light comes down
And You all leave the town
The star there it stands

    • all alone.

In its dreams it remembers
All the lost burning embers
when it was the idol

    • of a million.

 

Oh, oh can’t you see
Oh, oh can’t you see
The star wants to go

    • To be free

Remember younger days
We spent them in a haze
Life was ours to live

    • To enjoy

Today we carry on
being pushed down upon
Struggle to survive

            • To find joy

Oh, oh can’t they see
Oh, oh can’t they be
They must let go

    • To be free

Everybody stop your runnin
Everybody come join in
Listen to the singer

            • Sing his song

Come along
Join the song
A million voices
fill the air
sing it loud
sing it clear

Open up your eyes
Then you’ll realize
We must join together

        • To be free

Oh, oh can’t you see
Oh, oh can’t you be
Everybody was meant

            • To be free

Oh,oh can’t you see
Oh,oh  can’t we be
Everybody let go

            • To Be free

Oh, oh can we see
Oh, oh can we be
We were all meant

        • To be free
