Violent Femmes - I'm Free lyrics

rate me

I'm free and I'm happy

I am free from your hatred

I've parted from the part

That I participated in

So I'm free it was easy

I know nothing of your hatred

I've known and shone the light

And the darkness abated

So I'm free

Run skip jump play

My little boy is happy

Look he's smiling because

He knows no fear... hear...

My mommy's calling me

And I'm running thru the fields

Because I'm free...

Every day in every way

I'm getting better and better and better

And better and better and betteretc

Because there's no fear... here why

I can't tell you now cause

I'm runnin through the woods

And I just jumped a little bit higher...

Cause I'm free

And that's the way he created me to be

I have turned from your hatred

I turned on the light

And there was nothing there that waited to get me

This ain't a song about that this is a song about this
