Every time I see your face I have to wonder just where it has been
Although I know I make mistakes I still am often known to jump right in
I've been around this ugly place enough to know beauty's deeper than skin
Let freedom ring
'Cause it is spring and it's time to mow the lawn
Bring the kids along
Let freedom ring
In the backyards of our land
Even off in school
It really is quite cool
Every time I get away I always weind up back here in this place
Lots of things are gone or changed but I only come to see one face
I used to think I was in love but now I do not feel that is the case
Let freedom ring
'Cause it is spring and it's time to mow the lawn
Bring the kids along
Let freedom ring
In the backyards of our land
Even off in school
It really is quite cool
As excited as I get there comes a time to stop and take it slow
I used to have a dream in mind but I finally had to let it go
Fairy tales come true they say but really what the fuck do they know
Let freedom ring
'Cause it is spring and it's time to mow the lawn
Bring the kids along
Let freedom ring
In the backyards of our land
Even off in school
It really is quite cool
