lyrics

FREE
(B Liddiard)

At 14 I knew what I wanted
Or rather, what I didn’t want
No marriage, no children
No house in the suburbs following some dead-end career
No fear

At 14 I sat on the beach at night
To see the rolling waves in the starlight
I watched & I listened
I was sure I heard what they said to me
Be free

Be free – don’t worry about anybody else
That’s what we were told, just think about yourself
Be free – break away from the ties that bind
And you won’t be the one who’s left behind

And now I reap a strange reward
I should have known that I would
The world is your oyster
But you won’t find it if you stay here
No fear

Be free – don’t worry about anybody else
That’s what you’re told, just think about yourself
Be free – break away from the ties that bind
And you won’t be the one who’s left behind.
