lyrics

FREEDOM
I was a busy child, never was meek and mild, cause, I had way too much to do
My mother said stay away, you’ll find love another day, for now there’s a better life for you.
Now I waited all these days, now what do I wanna say?
I wanna say I found freedom, I wanna say I found me
I wanna say that I love it, I love being free
But something inside me is screaming, to have something more than my goals
Something inside me is saying, I don’t wanna be alone.
You were a handsome boy, young and full of joy
You never stopped long enough to look
The other boys chasing tail, but you didn’t want to fail
So you kept your face stuck in a book.
You waited all these days, now what do you want to say?
You wanna say you found freedom, you wanna say you found you
You wanna say that you love it, but you know it ain’t the truth
Cause something inside you is screaming to have something more than your goals
Something inside you is saying, you don’t wanna be alone.
Just two children making dreams, on top of the world it seems
Their true feelings coming out, as they begin to shout.
I wanna say you complete me, I wanna say that you’re mine.
I don’t care if I got nothin, as long as you’re near me I’m fine.
Cause something inside us is screaming to have something more than our goals
Something inside us is saying, we don’t wanna be alone.
My mother said stay away from men... but I didn’t listen.
