They say I have freedom
I can do what I want
They say I have freedom
To speak how I feel
...
I was light and free,
I floated on the wind
Then you asked me
Where I had come from
...
There was a shot,
A shot fleeing through the dark night,
And all around was still
For fear of being found
...
They trust her
Impicitly, undoubtingly,
And follow in her footsteps
No matter where she goes
...
You came into my life
Out of the velvet night
You came, and you swept me off my feet
Turned my world around, my mind inside-out
...
Just wait and see
It will come late this year
I don't think
The spring is due soon
...
Freedom?
They say I have freedom
I can do what I want
They say I have freedom
To speak how I feel
But how is it freedom
To be judged for my deeds
And persecuted for speaking
Revealing my thoughts
How is it freedom
To fear being called strange
To think different thoughts
To the people you call friends
I live in my mind
I hide in my brain
I don't dare to speak out again
And I'm free to be lonely
And misunderstood
I'm free to be hated and shunned
This is the freedom
This is not freedom
It cannot be freedom
To hide from the world
