Set Me Free Lyrics

Set me free, set me free
I need a little more room to breathe
And the freedom to do what I please
Mama set me freeSet me free, set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeDrop me off on a mountaintop somewhere
Well I'll point 'em down and say my prayers
No one understands it, maybe they don't care
We're only here because it's thereSet me free, set me free
I wanna be what I can be
City livin' ain't livin' to me
Mama set me freeSet me free, set me free
Let me see what I can see
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeWell I'll go where people don't go
Where the iron horses don't roll
High above the sea of gray below

The great mystery and the cold wind blowsSet me free, set me free
I need a little more room to breathe
And the freedom to do what I please
Mama set me freeSet me free, set me free
Let me see what I can be
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me freeHave mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free
Have mercy on a boy like me
Mama set me free
