I Am Free
I have lived my life confused
not sure what I wanna do
I've made my share of mistakes
and I have paid
But now I'm in a better place
Within my heart and upon my face
I start each day with purpose
Not afraid
As children we are bred to fear
Do as we're told and shed no tear
But rarely does the punishment
Fit the crime
Now I am parental age
Within myself a war is waged
My innocence is running
Out of time
I am free
To be whoever I want to be
But can't you see
I just wanna be me
