Free Now (Live)

I wrote this song for my father Sometimes I feel he never gave A damn about me Though he raised me like he should Did he understand me? No, no, I don't think so. I wrote this song for my mother She had to leave me, when I was younger She said son, seek this life and keep an open mind But in my mind's eye I am free now Free to live without my fears I believe now There's a reason why I'm here It's to try to do good It's to try to do better Who will I be for my daughter? This little baby, she means the world to me Will I relive their mistakes? Or do things the right way? For her sake! I am free now Free to live without my fears I believe now There's a reason why I'm here Can I be a man? One that understands How to love more patiently I'll be free now I'll be free now. And we dream of the day, when our kids can play In the streets with no fear of them being taken away Fathers raise their sons with respect and love Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns If we hope to be free it takes you and me To start over here and now 'Cause this world is, the way it is, it's how we raise our kids. I wrote this song for my mother, wrote this song for our father So hopefully we can come together And hopefully make things a little better. I am free now Free to live without my fears I believe now There's a reason why I'm here. Can I be a man? One that understands How to love more patiently I'll be free now I'll be free now I'll be free now I'll be free now.
