Got To Be Free Lyrics - Singles - Naked Earth

To travel life's highways the young and the old 

Which path to turn on at the forks in the road 

There's anger and heartache, depression and pain 

Things that we do to keep from going insane 

You got to be free, got to be free 

Say you got to be now, got to be free, free, free, free, free (free) 

To deal with the conscience of a tormented soul 

You have to relax the mind from its rational hold 

It's easy to burn out when you're thinking too much 

So let it go and it will help you in your search to be free 

Got to be free 

Say you got to be now, got to be free, free, free, free, free (free) 

Don't be an actor, music's a bust 

It's not what you want to be 

A lawyer, a doctor, the family trust 

Blame it all on society 

Just one of the masses that's doing time 

Drowning in your misery 

But sooner or later the picture comes clear 

It's not where I want to be 

Got to be free, got to be free 

Say you got to be now, got to be free, free, free, free, free (free) 

Should I stay or should I go 

Enough of this foolish pride 

Fighting a battle with my own ego 

It's tearing me up inside 

Bottle it up and stash it away 

Things will get better, that's what they always say 

Taking a chance, giving it up 

I don't know, said I don't know what to do 

Here it goes, I'm taking the plunge 

Not sure where I'm going and I'm not on the run 

No-one to lean on, no-one to please 

All I've got is myself and this feeling that I've got to be free 

Got to be free 

Say you got to be, got to be free, free, free, free, free (free)
