Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way from my home

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

All the trails we blazed

Have long since been paved

Leadin' the modern age

On down memory lane

Can't turn a page

'Cause I guess it's just a phase

Somehow still be amazed

That the leaves had changed

It's that suffering

Don't know why it brings

Such sweet memories

Will be the enemy

But you'll come out on wings

I know it seems there's no end in sight

But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight

But you're chained, no, no

But you're chained, no, no

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

When I need my brother, yeah

Mother, yeah

Sister, yeah

Mother, yeah yeah yeah yeah
