Free Lyrics - Paula Cole

I keep walking down the same city streets 

The same city lines, to the same lonely beat 

People say, Hello, but I don't know what to say 

I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way 

I wanna hide from all these strangers 

I wanna run home to you 

All I need is your compassion, yes 

We can be free, yes, I wanna be free, yes 

I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free 

Oh, the way I'm shut out by your silence 

It's the loudest thing I've ever known 

You leave me, leave me hanging 

'Til I feel useless with my hope 

Oh, it's lonely in the city, it can be lonely next to you 

And just have the courage to open up yourself 

Then we can be free, yes, I wanna be free, yes 

I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free 

I just, I wanna be free, oh, I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free 

Oh, it's lonely in the city, it can be lonely next to you 

And just have the courage to open up yourself 

Then we can be free, yes, I wanna be free, yes 

I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free 

I just, I wanna be free, oh, I wanna be free 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I wanna be free, yes 

I wanna be free, I just, I wanna be free, yes 

I wanna be free
