I chose to walk this path you sure can't take it from me I follow my own footsteps that lead me to the door Oh, the price I've paid just to keep my soul free I veer off the beaten path just to see what I can see To be here To have my mind To be alive To be free Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Oh, the price I've paid just to keep my head straight I may have missed out a little, but now I'm doing great To be away Back in my mind To be living To be free Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Oh, the price I've paid just to keep my soul free I may have missed out a little, but now I'm f**ing free To be here To have my mind To be alive To be free To be free To have my mind To be alive To be living Back in my mind Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be Free to be what I want to be (to be alive) Free to be free
