free

it's time to laugh

it's time to cry

it's time to be what you need to be

it won't be long till they are gone

and we can be what we want to be

i'm gonna run from everything

everything that holds me down

nothing to win

nothing to lose

you can't tell me what to do anymore

you can't tell me what to do anymore

now i'm free

now i'm free

now i'm free

i'm gonna run

i'm gonna win

i'm gonna do what i need to do

'cause it's time to be what i need to be

it's time to be what i need to be

you can't tell me what to do anymore

you can't tell me what to do anymore

now i'm free

now i'm free

now i'm free

i want to hold air in my hand

own the one thing you can't buy

nothing to win

nothing to lose

i'm gonna run from everything

everything that holds me down

nothing to win

nothing to lose

it's time to be what i need to be

you can't tell me what to do anymore

you can't tell me what to do anymore

now i'm free

now i'm free

now i'm free

OK, I'm not going to say, "Yeah man, it's soo cool." [thanks! -- ed.] When I listen to this song, it makes me think about when the Spanish, French, etc. came to the new lands and took everything and now that the indian race disappeared or made a new race of mixed blood. Also, how those people are dealing with change today and take up their rights to do old traditions and realize that their language is not their real one because of the oppressors.
