I keep walking down the same city streets   The same city lines, to the same lonely beat   People say, ?Hello?, but I don't know what to say   I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way      I wanna hide from all these strangers   I wanna run home to you   All I need is your compassion, yes   We can be free, yes, I wanna be free, yes   I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free      Oh, the way I'm shut out by your silence   It's the loudest thing I've ever known   You leave me, leave me hanging   'Til I feel useless with my hope      Oh, it's lonely in the city, it can be lonely next to you   And just have the courage to open up yourself   Then we can be free, yes, I wanna be free, yes   I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free   I just, I wanna be free, oh, I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free      Oh, it's lonely in the city, it can be lonely next to you   And just have the courage to open up yourself   Then we can be free, yes, I wanna be free, yes   I wanna be free, yes, I wanna be free   I just, I wanna be free, oh, I wanna be free      Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah   Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I wanna be free, yes   I wanna be free, I just, I wanna be free, yes   I wanna be free
