I'M Free

I'm misunderstood 
In my own family 
I'm iron, they think I'm wood
If they knew - what I only could

Or what I carry 
Actually more 
then necessary 
I'm misunderstood

In my own family 
I'm diamond 
They think I'm coal
I'm the goalkeeper

who prevents all goals
Firm and tight 
I hold all balls - Humble and courageous 
is my fight

And besides 
I take life light 
I take life easy
I'm beautiful

I'm not sleazy 
Neither dizzy 
I'm misunderstood 
In my own family

But I don't care ????? 
As I'm happy ?? 
Life shines to me
All my future is ahead

All my love ?? 
I will spread
I have to drink
And I'm well fed

I'm healthy 
and also wealthy - in and out
I'm willing 
and besides

Love's always winning 
So I don't give up
Keep my head and attitude 
always up - I will climb

to the top 
And one day 
they will see me
And they will understand

That I don't need them 
so I can stand
That they need me
As I'm humble

I'm free
