Free

Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated

If I would feel better just lightly sedated

The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it

I'm on fire but I'm trying not to show it

As it picks me up puts me down

It picks me up puts me down

Picks me up it puts me down

A hundred times a day

It picks me up puts me down

Chews me up spits me out

Picks me up it puts me down

I'm always running from something

I push it back but it keeps on coming

And being clever never got me very far

Because it's all in my head

"You're too sensitive" they said

I said "Okay but let's discuss this at the hospital"

Picks me up puts me down

Picks me up puts me down

Picks me up it puts me down

A hundred times a day

Picks me up puts me down

Chews me up spits me out

It picks me up puts me down

But I hear the music I feel the beat

And for a moment when I'm dancing I am free

I hear the music I feel the beat

And for a moment when I'm dancing

I am free

I am free

Is this how it is

Is this how it's always been

To exist in the face of suffering and death

And somehow still keep singing

Oh like Christ up on a cross

Who died for us who died for what

Oh don't you wanna call it off

But there is nothing else that I know how to do

But to open up my arms and give it all to you

'Cause I hear the music I feel the beat

And for a moment when I'm dancing

I am free

I am free

I am free

I am free
