Free

I had it tough when I was just a little kid
It didnt matter what I thought
It didnt matter what I did
I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start
It did a number on my head but it could never touch my heart
Cause I had just enough imagination
Just enough to keep the faith
That somehow I would think of what to do
When Id get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion
All the angels came around to help me through
Life blows fast changes, wind blows past pages
All I see is I dont need this
High strung tightrope walk, ticking time bomb clock
Scratch my name off, cut these chains
Im free.. kicking out of that prision
I am free.. singing those words of wisdom
Let it be.. nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me
And in the stress to be the best Ive done it all
Ive slammed the doors, Ive jammed the locks
Ive laid the bricks, Ive built the walls
No one could tell me back then why joy eluded me
Kept bumping into that misery locked up deep down inside of me
Took that rage and I, turned that page and I
Packed my tools, went back to school
And I passed my graduation, and I hold my PH.D
In crash test blues I paid those dues
Im free.. kicking out of that prision
I am free.. singing those words of wisdom
Let it be.. nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me
Time flies by in photographs and paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers, three taps takes me home
Im free
Im free
Im free.. kicking out of that prision
I am free.. singing those words of wisdom
Let it be.. (let it be)nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me
Oh yeah..
I am free
I am free, yeah
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free, yeah...
Time flies by in photographs and paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers, three taps takes me home
I am free
Yeah, Im free
I am free, oh...
Yeah, Im free
Free
