I went down to the water Talked with the tide Carrying treasures deep down inside I said "what's your secret? What keeps you alive?" It said ya gotta be free Chorus Ya gotta be free y'all Yeah ya gotta be free Ya gotta spread your wings Yeah ya gotta be free Ya gotta do what's right for your mind Yeah Ya gotta be free So I climbed up a mountain Just to breathe the air And I could see forever From way up there I sang till my echo sang back to me It said ya gotta be free Chorus I went to the deepest woods Slept with the trees And every answer came to my dreams They said "sister tell everyone to leave us alone, ya know we gotta be free" In the darkest night I was drawn to the fire And the red blue glow Jumped in my soul I said "what gives you the right to move up inside me?" It said ya gotta be free Chorus

Legend says you can't come back From the train that rides this track But we all know how truth gets lost in the pouring rain A young mans heart is seldom wise Chasing dreams in distant skies So Jimmy went down on a south bound train Chorus Better get on board before the night is through Better get on board if you dare to And if your pain is not yet drowned Pour another round Cause someone's going down before the night is through Pushing steel on that August night You could tell that things weren't right By the way that Mary Mae, the way she held her eyes He could tell she was a working girl Brought up hard in this mean old world Selling love that he could never afford to buy Chorus Loneliness is all it takes Jimmy made a big mistake Now he's gotta pay the man his dues But down and out ya know he ain't got much Just a reckless heart and a gentle touch Now Jimmy is going down Before the night is through Chorus

I'm not your fool and I'm not your prey I will learn to fight and live another day Cause all these wrongs will only make me strong I will break your chains and release all this pain Chorus And I will rise above I will learn to love Cause I've found the strength in me And I will be what I'm meant to be And I will rise above We've all got a story, got a history I can point at you and you can point at me Cause everybody wants someone to blame But nobody wins in this foolish game It's a foolish game We've all got choices that we have to make We can choose to give or we can choose to take But in end its really up to you So go ahead and do what your gonna do But I will.... Chorus

Guess it's just four walls and me tonight Can't seem to win or lose this fight I keep hearing everything you said Like a broken song inside my head Kettle sings its song just for one December's here the snow has just begun I find myself reaching for your hand Tell you something only you would understand This is me feeling less than small Maybe I'll stand, maybe I'll fall Maybe I should leave it all behind Maybe I'll just shout it at the walls This moving on never seemed right To me we were always worth the fight Even though you're not holding me I feel ya as I sit alone here tonight This is me feeling less than small Maybe I'll stand, maybe I'll fall Maybe I should leave it all behind Maybe I'll just shout it at the walls This is me feeling less than small Maybe I'll stand, maybe I'll fall Maybe I should leave it all behind or Maybe I'll just shout it at the walls This is me feeling less than small Maybe I'll stand, maybe I'll fall I don't know how to leave you behind Maybe I'll just shout it at the walls Maybe I'll just shout it at the walls

The sky is falling yet we choose to ignore They're preaching us religion yet delivering war Oh delivering war 37 dead in Tunisian sand Is that the price we have to pay For your holy land Oh for your holy land Chorus Ya know we better wake up Before it's too late We can't heal wounds With nothin but hate The help we need Won't come from above Unless we find a way To bomb em with love We know they're all lying Yet we choose to believe One hundred thousand dying Just when do we grieve? When do we grieve Chorus The violence isn't working Maybe try something new Why'd we let the monkeys Run this human zoo Oh this human zoo Chorus

I thought I walked a path of gold And that the winds would always Blow my way But now I see here There's nothing here beneath my feet But dust and dreams on a road that leads astray This pain weighs me down Let it go I thought I found my treasure trove and that the dice would always roll my way But now it's clear there's nothing here but these old fears Upon my back like a load of empty bags So what can I say to you I'm sorry, I'm sorry Let it go It's time for me to find another way It's dark but I can see the light of day So this is it! I'm moving on from this cocoon It's all I need to do I'm gonna let it go... Let it go ... I thought I walked a path of gold...

I guess it's time to change my game Tired of chasing trains Gotta get away Cause I can't feel high or low How was I to know Where this trip would go Chorus Cause I got a feeling I can't win this fight And god knows that it just ain't right Just ain't right Cause I've grown tired of living in between Nightmares and lovely dreams Where nothing's as it seems Chorus
