If I was free the places I would see

If I was free the places I would be

If I was free the people I would know

If I was free the people I would meet.

If I was only free 

Free from the home I grew up in.

Free from the people around me.

Free from all the pain I've felt

Free from all the bruises

Free from this humanity.

I would be outside this cold house

Away from the yelling

Hiding from the crying 

Uncovering my bruises

Showing the world

Running with the wind

Watching the suns a shine

Watching the flowers dance 

Letting the wind blow through my hair.

Listening to the birds singing in mid-air.

Free, just free is where I want to be.

Outside this closed door into the new world.

 Freedom must be beyond these stone walls beyond these bared windows. 

It just has to be

I could read a book without being judged.

I could eat what I want without getting called names

I'm not a fatty

I'm not a waste of space 

My heart could truly heal without being put down.

I could visit new places I've never, never seen.

Meet family I've never known.

Talk to new people and finally make some friends.

Outside this cold cold house.

Where the sun shines

The flowers dance

The wind blows In my hair.

And the birds are singing

Free, free, free is where I wanna be.

Free, free, free is where I deserve to be.

All I wanna be is free from my past 

Free to be me.

Free to move on.

Free enough to be forgiven and to forgive those who hurt me.

Free is all I've ever wanted. 

So Free is what I'm going to be.

Free is what I'm gonna be.
