Second floor of my hotel I'm rollin' up bout' to blaze It's on now To this Frankie Beverly and Mase As our days about to pass And our days in the past He said my mind free So my mind free at last

I need to heart-break-loose-the wind Dedela umoya wami, baba (set my spirit free, father) Take my heart away (repeat) To be the sound of wild geese calling To be ten seasons in a night To dance the sun beyond the tides of war and peace To put silence

Show me your love Show me, show me your love All I can speak is the truth Anyone can see there's a fire in you Comin' at you hard If you wanna be free

I shall enjoy the fruits of my labor if I get freed today (What did the Asian say?) A peace of mind That's what the Asian said, I need a divine Intervention was his religion and now it's a prize Him believing in Buddha, me believing in God Asked me what

But I'll take my time anywhere Anywhere I may roam Wherever I may roam And the road becomes my bride Call me what you will And I'll redefine anywhere And the earth becomes my throne I'm free to speak my mind Yeah, yeah wherever I may roam

I break with the past Set the nexus free at last As the future will be there to save us Trapped in my skin See the nexus in my dreams But will you bury me within I have the will inside my mind There is a voice I can't deny

My soul is wearying Oh Lord who will comfort me? I said my soul is wearying Beating down from all of my misery yeh Gotta hold of my heart Keeps me bound where the whole wide world is free yeah My home is a wreckage a family ground Impli-ed in poverty

We're under control Waiting for the fire to light Feeling like we could do right Be the one that makes tonight 'Cause freedom is a lonely road I might be anyone A lone fool out in the sun Your heartbeat of solid gold I love you, you'll never know

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine So this is me swallowing my pride And I go back to December all the time I go back to December

And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue American girls and American guys We'll
