Set me free Set me free

To be the best me I can be

Set me free set me free

I want to be me like you are you

I want to follow in your footsteps jet around the planet make stops in every nation

Perform and leave my words like seeds

To flourish into flowers before the final frost

Words grow along with a world that everyday is more crazy

Power and money go to those few lucky

So set me free set me free let me be me

The same way you are who you want to be

Let me be who I want to be

An overnight sensation performing in Paris

All that money and power right beside you Will I go crazy

Will I still stand up and preach loud and clear about the rights of the people

Or will I forget them if I get the big bucks?

Will I forget this poor besieged planet

Forget all that I stand for

if I become free and am the best me I can be

If I get the payoff and am one of the one percent

will I become one of them?

That’s why it’s easy to choose you over me.

Set me free set me free

Left out of everything frowned upon and looked down upon

They made fun of my name.

Looking me in the face, they’d cruelly say, again and again,

like it was some kind of fun game to make fun of my name

“Leftout, right? That’s your name?” sniggering with delight

They were justified being better than me I didn’t fight back.

Yesterday’s dreams and memories follow me

Letting go is never easy

Set me free set me free

Could I become one of you if I had power money and will the way you do?

Set me free set me free

Break on through to the other side in my fantasy

Amy’s absence screams inside and I reach to pull her out of me

my eyes sting - tears follow the tracks for who she could be – soul sister

Set me free set me free

And makes me wonder who I would be if I had half the chance

I want to be me set me free set me free let me be me
