Freedom - Jefferson Airplane

Oh I know they say someday time will show me

How to be so cool someday but what about right now

Please someone tell me what do I do while I’m waiting

Waiting to be so cool--someday

I know I’m not alone you know just how I feel

We both know the rules but who really knows

How to play this game?

No one will always win good losers hide the pain

They say everything’s fine

No one will hear them complain

But behind those smiles, so much purple rain

It’s a wonder anybody ever comes out sane but they do

And freedom it’s all up to you

When you’re by yourself you get that silent noise

Inside your mind all the party boys trying to fill up

All the empty holes don’t let one be her soul

Freedom now you’re on your own

Freedom or does it really mean you’re just all alone

Freedom either way it’s gonna take you home

It just takes you by the hand and says

Now it’s time to grow

So my friend you’re gonna be alright

Seems like it’s all uphill

But then that’s the only way to get high

Someday your soul is gonna fly

But don’t look back 'cause that’s a waste of time

And right now’s the time for you to look inside

And you’ll see love--love has never gone away

Freedom I’ve been standing still so long

Freedom I almost forgot you had a song

Freedom shine your light and let us begin

Just take me in our arms I wanna be free again
