I'm Free

Violent Femmes

I'm free and I'm happy 
I am free from your hatred 
I've parted from the part 
That I participated in 
So I'm free it was easy 

I know nothing of your hatred 
I've known and shone the light 
And the darkness abated 
So I'm free 

Run, skip, jump, play 
My little boy is happy 
Look he's smiling because 
He knows no fear here

My mommy's calling me
And I'm running through the fields
Because I'm free
Every day in every way 

I'm getting better and better and better
And better and better and better, etc.
Because there's no fear, here why

I can't tell you now 'cause
I'm running through the woods 
And I just jumped a little bit higher
Cause I'm free
And that's the way he created me to be

I have turned from your hatred
I turned on the light 
And there was nothing there that waited to get me 
This ain't a song about that 
This is a song about this
