When I was a kid, I'd sit alone, close my eyes and dream of a world
Where all walks of life: woman & man, class & creed, any color of skin
Loved who they loved as free as they can, embracing their difference hand in fucking hand,
And told I was the fool, dumb & naive - just another hopeful kid with a stupid fucking dream,
But the vision stayed, burning in me: the endless struggle to see us F.R.E.E:
Free to be
Right to choose
Equal to me
Equal to you...
♪
I can't stand the powers that be,
And I can't stand their fucking chains on me,
So I won't stand-by with inequality,
Open my eyes, rise to my feet,
Never let them forget we were born to live fucking free
Free, we live free, We live free until we die
Free, we live free, We live free no matter how they try
Free, we live free, We live free and then we die
Free, we live free, We live free the eternal fight:
To live free from all the pain, from all the hurt that holds up apart
To live free to live, free to love, free to learn who we are.
