I WOKE UP AND I WAS FREE
I woke up and I was free
Free to be anything I want to be
Free to roam this country wide
Free from slavery and fear
Free to start a new career
Mentally I知 strong and bright
with a prosperous future in sight
I知 free to think, live and create
I知 free to love, learn and make mistakes
I woke up and I was free
Looked around, nobody chasing me
Free to find my special love
Free to dream of worlds above
With no gun or weapon by my side
And not a shell around except my pride
I woke up and I was free
Free from crime and agony
With freedom I have no pain
Walking a path with a whole lot to gain
Everybody, I知 free
I知 really free.
