Free Now

I wrote this song for my fatherSometimes I feel he never gave a damn about meThough he raised me like he shouldDid he understand me?No, no, I don't think so

I wrote this song for my motherShe had to leave me, when I was youngerShe said son, seek this life, and keep an open mindBut in my mind's eye

I am free nowFree to live without my fearsI believe nowThere's a reason why I'm hereIt's to try and do goodIt's to try and do better

Who will I be for my daughter?This little baby, she means the world to meWill I relive their mistakes?Or do things the right wayFor her sake

I am free nowFree to live without my fearsI believe nowThere's a reason why I'm here

Can I be a man?One that understandsHow to love more patiently

I'll be free nowI'll be free nowAnd we dream of the day, when our kids can playIn the streets with no fear of them being taken awayFathers raise their sons with respect and loveHandle anger and pain with no need for no gunsIf we hope to be free it takes you and meTo start over here and nowCause this world is, the way it is, it's how we raise our kids

I wrote this song for my mother, I wrote this song for our fatherSo hopefully we can come togetherAnd hopefully make things a little better
