[Verse 1]
I saw a sign sprayed on the wall
Said "Free 2 Be", free to be
It hit me like the start of a morning
These quiet chains around my limbs
Holding the good girl that's there within
Who smiles at the sound of a warning
[Chorus]
What if the lights don't work?
What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?
What if the truth might hurt?
What if I just pretend and cover my heart?
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
[Verse 2]
I saw a life ahead of me
Where I was swallowed by the productivity
But cowered at the flesh of my body
And they say that love is friends with pain
But if I shut them off, what the the hell do I gain?
Maybe feeling both is part of the story
[Chorus]
What if the lights don't work?
What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?
What if the truth might hurt?
What if I just pretend and cover my heart?
[Bridge]
I hope the colour of a morning will paint my sadness better
I don't cry or try to pry or make the time to find the pleasure
I don't wanna dig the dirt
I don't wanna feel the hurt
But is that being free?
Is that being free?
[Chorus]
What if the lights don't work?
What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?
What if the truth might hurt?
What if I just pretend and cover my heart?
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
Is that being free?
Is that being free to be?
[Outro]
Free to be
Free to be
