Morning is here
Sunshine is seeping
Through the blind
Making it clear
This is the end
Of sleeping time
The man will soon be caught
In the dark
To get a day's work done
And no matter
How I'm feeling
I'll just have to run, run
Am I a slave
Or am I free
Am I free
Is this the end
Is this the way
It was meant to be
Many others are rich
But I live in poverty
Take away the shackles
A man has got to be free
Let me share the sunshine
In this world
That's for you and me
Take away the shackles
A man has got to be free
Let me share the sunshine
In this world
That's for you and me
Evening is here
Darkness has chased
Away the sun
And with the night
Seems more misery
Has come
Now home
Is just an empty room
Where a human
Should not dwell
In my life
There's one direction
And it leads to hell
Hell
Hell
Am I a slave
Or am I free
Is this the way
It was meant to be
Many others are rich
But I live in poverty
Am I a slave
Or am I a slave
Take away the shackles
A man has got to be free
Let me share the sunshine
In this world
That's for you and me
Take away the shackles
A man has got to be free
A man has got to be free
Let me share the sunshine
In this world that's for you and me
