In the dawning of the social revolution In an age when "do you your thing" was never done I met a woman like I'd never known A girl with a mind of her own She spoke freely She began to talk about a new horizon She said "come with me babe, we shall overcome" She said "excuse me while I kiss the sky You see, some folks were going to die I was born to run" She was a free spirit A gypsy with an angel's wings She was a free spirit The answer to a dreamer's dreams I still dream about the first time we were lovers
And I can't forget how beautiful it was (yes it was) It wasn't guilty and it wasn't a shame It wasn't something that you've got to explain No, it was free love She was a free spirit A gypsy with an angel's wings She was a free spirit The answer to a dreamer's dreams A free spirit She was a woman way ahead of her time She had vision when the world was blind Liberty She was a free spirit A gypsy with an angel's wings She was a free spirit The answer to all my dreams
