Set Me Free

Set me free, set me free
I need a little more room to breathe
And the freedom to do what I please
Mama set me free

Set me free, set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free

Drop me off on a mountaintop somewhere
Well I'’ll point ‘'em down and say my prayers
No one understands it, maybe they don'’t care
We'’re only here because it’'s there

Set me free, set me free
I wanna be what I can be
City livin'’ ain’'t livin' to me
Mama set me free

Set me free, set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free

Well I'’ll go where people don'’t go
Where the iron horses don'’t roll
High above the sea of gray below
The great mystery and the cold wind blows

Set me free, set me free
I need a little more room to breathe
And the freedom to do what I please
Mama set me free

Set me free, set me free
Let me see what I can be
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free

Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free
