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
