I open my eyes, each morning I rise To find the truth I know that is there I'm lucky to breathe, I'm lucky to feel, I'm glad to wake up, I'm glad to be here With all of this world, and all of it's pain, All of it's lies, and all of its let downs I still feel a sense of freedom So glad I'm around It's my freedom, can't take it from me I know it won't change But, we need some understanding, I know we'll be alright Alright The day I am gone, and the day that I leave I'll never regret one minute of life I've learned from the joy, I've learned from the tears I've walked through the dark, now I seen a light Every tongue of everyone In every state of every land, Has every thing to be thankful for It's my freedom 'Cause I, I wait on you 'Cause you wait on me, so I wait on you I open my eyes, each morning I rise To find the truth I know that is there I can't tell you how, you can't tell me why But living my life is all that I care The burden can be, sometimes, bigger than me, Sometimes, stronger than me, and hard to bear But I couldn't care less, no stress 'cause Jah put me here It's my freedom I know you know I wait on you 'Cause you wait on me - so I wait on you We've really gotta stop
