Verse 1:

Looking all around me,

I see barbed wire at my feet

My arms are tied in shackled

and I'm struggling to breath

I've been flipping through the history books

and seen the past mistakes

But looking at who we are

I just think we should try and change

Pre-chorus:

Cause we are going down the road of past mistakes

And lookin' at everything we've said and done

Chorus:

We should be free

To be who we are

To restrictions or boundaries in sight

We should be free

Not locked up or turned away

Because our boat is sinking

I'm trapped in an endless cycle,

forced to work to pay off debt,

and I know I've heard worse but still,

I know no one is going to be my hero today. 

And I don't need someone to save me

Just because they feel pity

But if we work together to make a change

Pre-chorus:

Cause we are going down the road of past mistakes

And looking at everything we've said and done

Chorus:

We should be free

To be who we are

To restrictions or boundaries in sight

We should be free

Not locked up or turned away

Because our boat is sinking

Bridge:

Where is the dove of peace?

Where is the sign of freedom?

I've been slaving away for too long 

and I need some prosperity

Chorus:

We should be free

To be who we are

To restrictions or boundaries in sight

We should be free

Not locked up or turned away

Because our boat is sinking

End verse:

Why are we still punishing?

Why are we still hurting others?
