There is hope, even as the tears fall on your lips Even as you take another sip And half of all you smoked the night before Didn't lose the war So stand back up and be a man Hold yourself complete again And say the words, I am free I am free It's the sound of peace There is laughs, even when all you got's a box of frowns They gave you as they held you to the ground But over the hills call out sounds Spill out, break heavy ground Angels dress, they dance around You can hear it, you can feel it The song says, I am free I am free It's the sound of peace Yeah, I am free I am free It's the sound of peace And it's for freedom, sweet freedom I was sold out, they held me to the ground But now I'm free now, I'm free now And now I'm free Oh, now I'm free There is hope, even as the tears fall on my lips Even as I take another sip And half of all I've smoked the night before I didn't lose the war I'll stand back up and be the man Hold myself complete again And say the words, I am free I am free It's the sound of peace
