"Free Now"

I wrote this song for my father

Sometimes I feel he never gave

A damn about me

Though he raised me like he should

Did he understand me? No, no, I don't think so.

I wrote this song for my mother

She had to leave me, when I was younger

She said son, seek this life and keep an open mind

But in my mind's eye

I am free now

Free to live without my fears

I believe now

There's a reason why I'm here

It's to try to do good

It's to try to do better

Who will I be for my daughter?

This little baby, she means the world to me

Will I relive their mistakes?

Or do things the right way?

For her sake!

I am free now

Free to live without my fears

I believe now

There's a reason why I'm here

Can I be a man?

One that understands

How to love more patiently

I'll be free now

I'll be free now.

And we dream of the day, when our kids can play

In the streets with no fear of them being taken away

Fathers raise their sons with respect and love

Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns

If we hope to be free it takes you and me

To start over here and now

'Cause this world is, the way it is, it's how we raise our kids.

I wrote this song for my mother, wrote this song for our father

So hopefully we can come together

And hopefully make things a little better.

I am free now

Free to live without my fears

I believe now

There's a reason why I'm here.

Can I be a man?

One that understands

How to love more patiently

I'll be free now

I'll be free now

I'll be free now

I'll be free now.
