You may keep me in In between your walls Ban me from traveling And tell me not to sing And you may have your thoughts A sketch of who I am A notion you've conceived A sight you want to see But you don't know me ♪ No, you don't know me ♪ You claim to walk in love Though mercy is your foe You've already dug a grave Now you hope I misbehave You say you know the cause Of every shattered dream Even when there's none to blame You always shout my name But I don't owe you ♪ I've never owed you ♪ You may keep me here You seem to know just how To pin me to the ground Each time you come around Take away my home Obscuring what I am And plague me all night long And lay claim to Freedom's song But you don't own me ♪ No, you don't own me You don't own me You don't own me
