I was walking down a revolution
I saw the dry bones there
Then Jesus called and asked me a question
He said, "My child, why weren't you there?"
You could've saved a whole generation
They waited long for you
And while you sat in fear in the shadows
By saying daddy wouldn't let you
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
I wish you would be free
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
Be free completely
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
Your life is yours to live
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
I really need to be free, hey
I can walk, I can run
I can fly ever so high
If only you will let me, I will be free
In your shadow now be my destiny, hey
Like a bird, let me be free
Free to be me, I just want to be
Like a dream, allow me to soar
I know there is more, it's what I long for
Like a bird, let me be free
Free to be me, I just want to be
Like a dream, allow me to soar
I know say more dey
Na wetin I dey want e
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh (oh)
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh (oh)

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh (oh)
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
I really need to be free, hey
I was walking down a revolution
This time I took my place
Then Jesus handed me a revelation
I had fulfilled my destiny
Be free, be free
