freedom ~ by James Blunt

Freedom

Text und Musik / lyrics and music by James Blunt 

Let me show you my emotions, tell you how I feel

Hear my simple notions to me they're very real

Can't you see they've got it wrong, set their morals high

But it all comes down to one simple fact: in the end we all die

So why can't we be free to do what we please

Oh be free, get up off our knees

Stop this facade, this silly game we play

We set these rules which we can't obey

It’s not real, this ain't how it should be

This can't be life if we must pay a fee

Break the chains and throw down the book

Give me a chance to give back what they took

Please take in what I tell you. Don't throw it away

For the wisdom of God iIs mine for today

You live every hour with a lover by your side

But when morning has come you still have secrets to hide

So tell me what you're feeling. Let me touch your inner soul

The reason I'm here is to make you feel whole

So quit your inhibitions the morals of this world

Forgot to think of one small point: I'm a boy and you're a girl

And we should be free to do what we please

Oh be free, get up off our knees

Stop this facade, this silly game we play

We set these rules which we can't obey

It’s not real, this ain't how it should be

This can't be life if we must pay a fee

Break the chains and throw down the book

Give me a chance to give back what they took

I said what I had to say, said what makes me tick

If you've listened to me thoroughly then you and I are quits

I may not have changed the way you think but at least I've had a try

And I know that I'll have peace of mind when I die
