Free

I got to talkin’ to a brother ’bout the things
weighin’ on my mind
Walkin’ with the shackles I can’t seem
To leave behind
He said: ”Brother, don’t worry
One thing I know is true:
If you hold on to what you got
That reminds you of who you are
You’re free…
When you let go of what you’re not
An’ remind the world of what you got
You’re free

He started soundin’ like a preacher
I was listenin’, ’cause his words rang true
Walkin’ through the park
I was hearin’ a sermon I knew
He said: ”Brother, don’t get weary
This I know is true
If you hold on to what you got
That reminds you of who you are
You’re free
When you let go of what you’re not
An’ remind the world of what you got
You're free”

Nothin’ in the world can hold you down
Though the world will try
If your faith is strong, you can’t go wrong
You’re bound to fly up high

You’re free…
