Oh I know they say someday time will show me
|
How to be so cool someday but what about right now
|
Please someone tell me what do I do while I'm waiting
|
Waiting to be so cool--someday
|
|
I know I'm not alone you know just how I feel
|
We both know the rules but who really knows
|
How to play this game?
|
No one will always win good losers hide the pain
|
They say everything's fine
|
No one will hear them complain
|
|
But behind those smiles, so much purple rain
|
It's a wonder anybody ever comes out sane but they do
|
And freedom it's all up to you
|
When you're by yourself you get that silent noise
|
Inside your mind all the party boys trying to fill up
|
All the empty holes don't let one be her soul
|
|
Freedom now you're on your own
|
Freedom or does it really mean you're just all alone
|
Freedom either way it's gonna take you home
|
It just takes you by the hand and says
|
Now it's time to grow
|
|
So my friend you're gonna be alright
|
Seems like it's all uphill
|
But then that's the only way to get high
|
Someday your soul is gonna fly
|
But don't look back 'cause that's a waste of time
|
And right now's the time for you to look inside
|
And you'll see love--love has never gone away
|
|
Freedom I've been standing still so long
|
Freedom I almost forgot you had a song
|
Freedom shine your light and let us begin
|
Just take me in our arms I wanna be free again
|
