In the dawning of the social revolution
In an age when, 'do your thing', was never done
I met a woman like I'd never known
A girl with a mind of her own, she spoken freely She began to talk about a new horizon
She said, "Come with me, babe, we shall overcome"
She said, "Excuse me while I kiss the sky
You see some folks were going to die, I was born to run" She was a free spirit
A gypsy with an angel's wings
She was a free spirit
The answer to a dreamer's dreams
Free spirit I still dream about the first time we were lovers
And I can't forget how beautiful it was, yes, it was
It wasn't guilty and it wasn't a shame
It wasn't something that you've got to explain
Lord, it was free love She was a free spirit
A gypsy with an angel's wings
She was a free spirit
The answer to a dreamer's dreams
A free spirit She was a woman, way ahead of her time
She had vision when the world was blind, liberty She was a free spirit
A gypsy with an angel's wings
She was a free spirit
The answer to all my dreams She was a free spirit
A gypsy with an angel's wings
She was a free spirit
The answer to all my dreams She was a free spirit
A gypsy with an angel's wings
She was a free spirit
Oh, once in a life time, babe
