Lyrics
They tell you you're throwing your life away
You're just a fool living from day to day
Wasting all your chances
You can see it their sneering glances
That they think that you're mistaken
In the path that you have taken
What could be wrong in just
Wanting to be free
Wanting to be free
And if they're saying that this wrong
Then this is not a place that you belong
Oh why can't they see
You only want to be free
They can't see why you're doing what you do
Turning your back on what they thought was true
Yet it's plain in your eyes
That all they said was only lies
And you tell them that your sorry
And tell them not to worry
For all that you doing is just
Wanting to be free
Wanting to be free
Don't let them try to cure your ills
Make you believe in magic pills
There's no remedy
For wanting to be free
They seem to think you haven't thought things out
There is too much you know nothing about
But maybe you know more
Than we ever have or could before
For now maybe you can see
Just what it is you want to be
And what could be wrong in just
Wanting to be free
Wanting to be free
So don't you let your courage fail
And the wind of change will help you sail
To your destiny
Where you can be free
Wanting to be free mmmh mhh
Wanting to be free yea yea
