Freedom

(by G. Slick)
 Oh I know they say someday time will show me
 How to be so cool someday but what about right now
 Please someone tell me what do I do while I'm waiting
 Waiting to be so cool--someday
 I know I'm not alone you know just how I feel
 We both know the rules but who really knows
 How to play this game?
 No one will always win good losers hide the pain
 They say everything's fine
 No one will hear them complain
 But behind those smiles, so much purple rain
 It's a wonder anybody ever comes out sane but they do
 And freedom it's all up to you
 When you're by yourself you get that silent noise
 Inside your mind all the party boys trying to fill up
 All the empty holes don't let one be her soul
 Freedom now you're on your own
 Freedom or does it really mean you're just all alone
 Freedom either way it's gonna take you home
 It just takes you by the hand and says
 Now it's time to grow
 So my friend you're gonna be alright
 Seems like it's all uphill
 But then that's the only way to get high
 Someday your soul is gonna fly
 But don't look back 'cause that's a waste of time
 And right now's the time for you to look inside
 And you'll see love--love has never gone away
 Freedom I've been standing still so long
 Freedom I almost forgot you had a song
 Freedom shine your light and let us begin
 Just take me in our arms I wanna be free again
