Rolling thunder arising in myself
Pounding on my heart
I feel my body ain't a home, but it's a cell
Jailing me apart

Someone has taken their place in my reflection
Something is pulling me off of my direction
And I can't sleep at night

But I wanna be free
And I wanna see clearly

Base it on your mother
Base it on the sky
Base it on a stranger passing by

You know what you believe in
You will fight
Take it from your heart
You know it's right
Cuz I'm gonna be free

All the visions of my life float on by
A moment in a year
Rumination makes reality a lie
The truth ain't so clear

But soon I will walk with my feet on the road
And soon I will live with the light of my soul
I won't wait around

Cuz I wanna be free
And I wanna see clearly

Base it on your mother
Base it on the sky
Base it on a stranger passing by

You know what you believe in
You will fight
Take it from your heart
You know it's right
Cuz I'm gonna be free
