I Am Free

Free, I am free
But no one understands.
I am free to make a choice
But no one really cares
About me.

Freedom’s not a gift
Contained by social norms
Curtailed by sin of guilt
Pressured by beliefs and faith
Yet we say we are free.

Free, I am free
But no one understands.
I am free to make a choice
But no one really cares
About me.

I am free but crucified
To the shadows
Of the world
That looms high
Against my freedom

 
Free, I am free
But no one understands.
I am free to make a choice
But no one really cares
About me.
