I Am Free
Let me run wild
Just like a horse
Fly for awhile
Like birds of course.
Bark for protection
And climb like a cat
Climb up to Heaven
Defeat every bat.
Because I am free.
I am free to smile
I am free to see
I'm free as a child
I'm free as can be.
I am free to love
I am free to be me
I'm free as a dove
I'm free as can be.
Let me reach
Reach out to the stars
Pretend I'm on a beach
No matter how far.
Because I am free.
And let me dream
Dream about big wonders
Where nobody is mean
Not even thunder.
Because I am free.
I am free to smile
I am free to see
I'm free as a child
I'm free as can be.
I am free to love
I am free to be me
I'm free as a dove
I'm free as can be.
Let me laugh
Let me cry
Forget the past
Let me try.
Let me be me
Let me be who I am
Because I am seen
Wherever I stand.
Because I am free.
I am free to smile
I am free to see
I'm free as a child
I'm free as can be.
I am free to love
I am free to be me
I'm free as a dove
I'm free as can be.
