Freedom Calls Lyrics

Freedom calls

Time to walk a different road

These four walls

Tried to steal away my hopes

"You're too afraid! Scared to face it! You're shaking!"

Why did I walk in blind

When I

Should have stopped and turned aside?

If old equals wise

Then youth is the fool who brought me here

To open my eyes

And close the door to yesteryear

This world never ceases

To rip you to pieces

It delves and it reaches

Into your beliefs

Ain't nobody perfect

And man, don't we learn it

The hard way. I'm hurtin'

The future's uncertain

Freedom calls

I don't recognise these walls

After all

Time don't stop while you grow old

Now I stand alone

In a doorway I don't know

And a place I once called home

I don't recognise

My pride

Was all it took to cross the line

This world never ceases

To rip you to pieces

It delves and it reaches

Into your beliefs

Ain't nobody perfect

And man, don't we learn it

The hard way. I'm hurtin'

The future's uncertain

If old equals wise

Then youth is the fool who brought me here

To open my eyes

And close the door to yesteryear

She murmurs

"It's been a long time"

You've changed and

"You got left behind"

I'm sorry

"Don't cut it, and I

Just don't want to know!"

I plead but

"It's been a long time"

You've changed and

"I left you behind

I'm sorry

But I just don't want to know!"

This world never ceases

To rip you to pieces

It delves and it reaches

Into your beliefs

Ain't nobody perfect

And man, don't we learn it

The hard way. I'm certain

The future's uncertain

This world never ceases

To rip you to pieces

It delves and it reaches

Into your beliefs

Ain't nobody perfect

And man, don't we learn it

The hard way. I'm certain

The future's uncertain

So no! There is no going back

I just gotta break free from the past

Your time runs down a one-way track

And freedom's calling out to me at last!
