Free to Be Lyrics

Haven't you ever had a dream she said

What do you want most before you're dead

I admit the question took me by surprise

Bringing both laughter and tears to my eyes

Cruel voices began to ring inside my head

Distant echoes from the land where I was bred

I remember fighting for every crumb

Just to tell myself that I was someone

Someone who mattered

Someone who deserved to be

Someone who mattered

Someone who was free, free to be

How could I ever make her understand

All I ever needed was smacked from my hand

Some things were meant for everyone else

What is hope for someone like myself

Someone who mattered

Someone who deserved to be

Someone who mattered

Someone who was free, free to be

You got what you deserved and that was always used

Whatever will be will be tell me what's the use

I know that man does not live on bread alone

Sometimes you don't even have that to count on

What I want more than heaven above

What can you teach me about love
