I've been thinking, and that's a dangerous thing
It brings changes to the life I've been living
Somebody might not like it, but that's how it's got to be
Cause life ain't worth a damn if it ain't free
Oh, freedom, you gotta take it where you'll find it
Love, the light shining inside, all around us
Doors we open for ourselves, in the moment, fully alive
Like trees in summer, we've been reaching for the sun
Bending with the wind, letting life go on around us
We can stay that way, or let each other go
Which is it to be, I love you so
Oh, freedom, you gotta take it where you'll find it
Love, the light shining inside, all around us
Doors we open for ourselves, in the moment, fully alive
I'm lonely, but that's the price you pay
I'm lonely, but it's okay
I'm lonely, I won't always feel this way
There's a butterfly on a rainy mountainside
Beneath a rolling sky, and when his wings have dried
He'll be flying, he'll be flying, he'll be flying
Flying fast, far and fancy free
Don't you know that butterfly is me?
Oh, freedom, you gotta take it where you'll find it
Love, the light shining inside, all around us
Doors we open for ourselves, in the moment, fully alive
Maybe everybody's truth is different
Just like grains of sand
I'll tell mine, no matter what you say
I will stand
Even if nobody listens
Or they laugh at me
I've come too far to give up now
I will stand
I've been thinking
That that's a dangerous thing
It brings so much pain to me
And it's changing
And it might hurt for a while
But in our hearts and minds
From deep within our souls
There's a voice that won't be silenced or controlled
Oh, freedom, you gotta take it where you'll find it
Love, the light shining inside, all around us
Doors we open for ourselves, in the moment, fully alive
In the moment, fully alive
Love, the light shining inside, all around us
