lyrics

A small life,
Full of big love,
Is all I, is all I really need,

I don't have to prove nothing,
Least of all, least of all,
To me,

So if you want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
If you want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
You want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
Then be

Turns out,
Philosophy is weak,
In the face of real,
Real, real fear

There's nothing you can say,
To yourself,
To make it disappear

So if you want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
If you want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
You want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
Then be… Just be

This life is one long dream from which,
I wish to awake,
Not so that it will end but just so,
I can catch a break,
From forgetting to remember,
That in this magic weave,
We are all just children here,
Playin' make-believe

Sittin' on the kitchen floor,
Like any old cliché,
Finding pain in black and white,
Cause everything to me,
Looks grey

So if you want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
If you want to be free,
And you just got to be free,
You want to be free,
And you just got to be free
Then be… Just be,
Just be… You just got to be
