Look mama, I'm riding this life with no hands And I know that it scares you and you don’t understand I'm out in this world with one last chance And I just might die a foolish man But they gave me hope They gave me peace of mind Promised me freedom Promised me back my life They gave me hope They gave me peace of mind They promised my freedom They promised my life Look papa, what good is a world that won't change ’Cause nothing prepares you for lifetime of pain The weight of this world is in my name And I just might die a foolish man But they gave me hope They gave me peace of mind Promised me freedom Promised me back my life They gave me hope They gave me peace of mind They promised my freedom Promised my life Freedom I can't count, I can't count the tears that I cried Freedom Lonely days and lonely nights Freedom Lord if this is all that you got in store Freedom Open up, open up Heaven's doors They gave me hope They gave me peace of mind Promised my freedom Promised me back my life They gave me hope They gave me peace of mind Promised my freedom Promised my life Maybe this world is what'll get better Maybe one day we fight this together Oh, freedom
