To Be Free

If you want to get a gift from me, buy me a house in the old country

Give me a car that I can drive away, or give me a reason to make me stay cause

I ain't never understood before, the human obsession with trying to soar

But now I really want to fly away, so give me a reason to make me stay

Or I'll go

Off to build my home

On foreign lands near ocean roads

I'll do it on my own, I'll do it all alone if that's what it means to be free

Please, sir, can you explain to me why vivid dreams ain't reality?

Cause I can see how this would all work out, but it works me up when it lets me down and

God, I hope that you're having a laugh, cause all my plans ain't come to pass

but looking back, it's working out better

Just give me the strength to hold out when pressure comes down, down on me

Or I'll go

Off to build my home

On foreign lands near ocean roads

I'll do it on my own, I'll do it all alone if that's what it means to be free

There's a road we travel on

You think you know it, but you got it all wrong

It'll bring you your way and bring me mine

Don't try and tell me where to go

Cause I'll go

Off to build my home

On foreign lands near ocean roads

I'll do it on my own, I'll do it all alone if that's what it means to be free
