Be free my darling

When I was a young boy

My mother said to me

Forget about wealth and riches son

Just live your life being free

I saw her struggles and her strifes

Enough to fill up a thousand lives

And I heed those words my mother said to me

"My darling, I just want you to be free"

Don't waste your time on chasing money

It'll only make you cold and lonely

Have you ever seen a rich man truly happy?

Don't go judging people by their looks

You wouldn't judge the cover of a written book

This world is big but I've given you the key

"My darling, I just want you to be free"

There's stories waiting out there for you to read

you'll see them on the faces of the people you'll meet

You could die tomorrow so why spend today being mean?

You won't live forever so seize the day

You can make a small difference in a special way

You could change the world even if it's only by a small degree

"My darling, I just want you to be free"

If you have to do wrong then do it for love

You can always pray after to our lord above

Nothing's wrong with wearing your heart upon your sleeve

Keep this moment forever locked in your mind

And carry it with you for the rest of time

Grow up to be a good man for me and your family

"My darling, I just want you to be free"
