Beth Nielsen Chapman - Free Lyrics
I had it tough when I was just a little kidIt didn't matter what I thought it didn't matter what I didI felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the startIt did a number on my head but it could never touch my heartCause I had just enough imaginationJust enough to keep the faithThat somehow I would think of what to doWhen I'd get lost in a momentary weakness of emotionAll the angels came along to help me throughLife pulls fast changesWind blows past pagesAll I see is, I don't need thisHighstrung tight rope walksTicking time bomb clocksScratch my name off, cut these chainsI'm free...Kicking out of that prisonI'm free...Singing those words of wisdomLet it be...Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me..And in the stress to be the best I've done it allI've slammed the doors I've jammed the locksLaid the bricks, I've built the wallsNo one could tell me back then why joy eluded meKept bumping into that misery locked up deep down inside of meTook that rage and ITurned that page and IPacked my tools, went back to schoolAnd I've passed my graduationI hold my Ph. D. in crash test bluesI've paid those duesI'm free...Repeat ChorusTime flied by in photographsAnd paper scraps and songsHere I stand in ruby slippersThree taps takes me home...I'm free...
