Free To Be

Got no social graces Never know my place One thing I am sure of You can't judge a man by his race Birth don't come easy Freedom doesn't come cheap Rules and worlds get swept away While you waste your time in sleep Grow up you Grow up me Grown together Free to be There's music in the forest Children laugh in the school yard On the skid row of the spirit Hear the ranting of the Western Guard Why don't you cool out Can it be so hard To love yourself without thinking Someone else holds a lower card Grow up you Grow up me Grown together Free to be Wired to the switchboard Always on the move Things we love to cling to But there's nothing we can prove You can only deal with What's before your face And the life you're given's no use at all If you burn it up in hate Grow up you Grow up me Grown together Free to be Grow up you Grow up me Grown together Free to be --- Free to Be - Bruce Cockburn
