Lyrics by F Whitlock

Need to be Free
Lately it been hard to not think of you
The moments of happiness and all that we've been through
I think of times that you made me laugh
Then comes the tears of hurt
From looking back

Lately you've been renting space in my head
Bring up emotions I long since thought were dead
I don't get it—this hold you have on me
Why can't I let you go
I need to be free
I wanna be free

Free to love again
Free to live
I need to be free
To finally give
This heart
That's full of love
To live the dreams
I dream of
I need to be free
I need to be free

Lately, it's been driving me half crazy mad
Thinking of what it was
We used to have
Tender love that sat
My soul ablaze
I still can't believe
That I'm missing our yesterdays

Lately, I've been wishing
To turn back the hands of time
But life is stuck on fastforward
And not rewind
I can't believe
I'm looking back on
The breaking of my heart
I try to stop the tears
Before they start
I wanna be free...

Free to love again
Free to live
I need to be fre
To finally give
This heart that's full of love
To live the dreams
I dream of
I need to be free
I need to be free

Lately through all this looking back
I can see past the tears
To my today
And be satisfied
With my future yeas
And lately I've learned to appreciate
What we went through
But I'm so blessed
He's not like you
I am free

I am free to live my life
Free to love again
I free to give every part of me
To this man
I am free to live again
And give him all my love
And together we chase
What we dream of
I am free...
I am free...

Ohh, I am free
