Clean shirt, new shoes, tight jeans and a smile to sell
And a pocket full of dreams to make up for the other's emptiness
Blue sky, hot day, open road to a tale I hope to live to tell
Leave my shadow behind, brighter days are coming up ahead
Freedom is calling, freedom is calling
I can hear Freedom calling, who knows how long it's gonna ring
My life is waiting, my life is waiting
So no more wasting time settling instead of being
Tried hard, didn't work, said goodbye with a heavy heart & broken mind
Tried to drown for a while, gin & tonic, double twist of lime
Woke up one day, no roof, just a scared & lost forsaken child
Not a clue, not a dime, 'til an angel touched me deep inside
Freedom was calling, freedom was calling
I could hear freedom calling, who knew how long t'was gonna ring
My life was wasting, my life was wasting
So couldn't waste more time settling instead of being
All it takes is a dollar & a dream, that's what they try to sell you anyway
But at some point, you gotta decide:
Do you act or do you wait and pray?
Will there come a day?
