Nina

[Intro: Nina Simone]

I tell you what freedom means to me

No fear

I mean really, no fear

[Verse]

It's a knot

You can feel down your back

There to warn you

Sooner than could your sight

[Pre-Chorus]

Kept us tamed in youthful years

So not to jump down from a tree

Now the heart it tries to keep

So not to cry too many tears

[Chorus]

Makes me wanna

Say what you won't

Do what you fear

And I beg you don't pray for me

Don’t blame me if I say

What you won’t

'Cause I believe it

When Nina told me that, Nina told me that I'm free

[Verse]

Like the roar

Of a lion in the wild

There to serve you

In the presence of harm

[Pre-Chorus]

A motive for genocide

The colour of their so-called God

You won't dare to speak your mind

For you might lose what you already don't have

[Chorus]

Makes me wanna

Say what you won't

Do what you fear

And I beg you don't pray for me

Don’t blame me if I say

What you won’t

'Cause I believe it

When Nina told me that, Nina told me that I'm free

[Bridge]

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

It's going and going and going and gone

[Chorus]

Makes me wanna

Say what you won't

Do what you fear

And I beg you don't pray for me

Don’t blame me if I say

What you won’t

'Cause I believe it

When Nina told me that, Nina told me that I'm free
