♪ I had it tough when I was just a little kid It didn't matter what I thought It didn't matter what I did I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start It did the number on my head But it could never touch my heart Cause I had just enough imagination Just enough to keep the faith Somehow I would think of what to do When I get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion All the angels came around to help me through Life pulls fast changes Wind blows past pages All I see is I don't need this High strung tight rope walk Ticking time bomb clock Scratch my name or cut these chains I'm free Kicking out of that prison I am free Singing those words of wisdom Let it be Nobody gonna put the bruise inside of me Hey, hey Go Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And there is nothing I can do Letting in the stress to be the best I've done it all I've slammed the doors, I've jammed the locks I've played the bricks, I've built the walls No one could tell me back then what joy eluded me Kept bumping into that misery Locked up deep down inside of me Took that rage and I turned that page And I packed my tools Went back to school, yeah And I passed my graduation And I hold my Ph.D. Crash test blues I paid those dues I'm free Kicking out of that prison I am free Singing those words of wisdom Let it be Nobody gonna put the bruise inside of me Yeah Time flies by in photographs And paper scraps and songs Here I stand in boobie slippers Three taps takes me home Yeah I'm free I'm free I'm free Kicking out of that prison I am free Singing those words of wisdom Let it be Nobody gonna put the bruise inside of me Oh yeah I am free I am free I am free I am free I am free I am free I am free I am free I am free Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Time flies by in photographs And paper scraps and songs Here I stand in boobie slippers Three taps takes me home Yeah I'm free I'm free I'm free Yeah I'm free I'm free
