Fontella Ba** - To Be Free lyrics

I think I'll go down by the river Gonna sit out and try to rest my mind All the things I've been trying to face Gonna leave them all behind Watching the boats go by oh, and may even cry But I'll be free, if it's only for a little while I'll be free I can't live, I say I can't live life-memory Yesterday, yesterday is dead and gone Tomorrow, tomorrow may not even see the dawn If I had the wings of a bird above I'll fly somewhere way up in the sky Just to be free, if it's only for a little while I'll be free Rumbling, rumbling through my soul Searching for my mind Looking for a reason for living I'm so tired of dying Looking back over my life Tring to remember where I've been Thinking about the rivers are yet to cross And wondering where I'm going If only I could make the whole world see Just what it would really really mean to me To be free, if it's only for a little while To be free To be free To be free...
