Verse
Waiting for tomorrow
To come around
With more cold news they missed today
Cuz everyday it seems like
I’m facing the ground
Mourning while tears slowly drift away
All of the things that I see
Remain on the page
When in fact they’re someone’s reality
Can’t help but get lost in the moment
But that’s all it is
Cuz I’m free to break away…
Chorus
Free to read the morning paper
Free to call my mama later
To say goodnight
Break away
Free to do whatever I want
Cuz I’m free, as I please
In my own mind
In my own mind
Verse
So many reasons
To turn around, walk away and ignore
That man in despair
A penny for my thoughts
Is all that he wants
But a couple minutes, yall
See I can’t even spare, no
I’m only human
But who am I to judge this man in need
See I should give what I can
And pray that he finds his way
Cuz I’m free to break away…
Chorus
Free to read the morning paper
Free to call my mama later
To say goodnight
Break away
Free to do whatever I want
Cuz I’m free, as I please
In my own mind
Break away
Free to find another station
If I don’t like what I’m seeing
On news tonight
Break away
Free to do whatever I want
Cuz I’m free, oh I’m free…
Breakdown
Oooooh woaaah
Another mother’s crying
While her baby’s dying
Oooooh woaaah
Chorus
Free to read the morning paper
Free to call my mama later
To say goodnight
Break away
Free to do whatever I want
Cuz I’m free, as I please
In my own mind
Break away
Free to find another station
If I don’t like what I’m seeing
On news tonight
Break away
Free to do whatever I want
Cuz I’m free, oh I’m free…
