She saw the future dying
And heard her baby crying
And wondered why it had to be
She sat and watched the sunrise
And felt the tears of compromise
A young girl learning to be free.
Her days and nights were so cold
She longed to share her heart and soul
With someone willing to believe
She saw the beauty in a stranger's face
And felt the warmth of his embrace
A fairytale that set her free
Free-she wants to be
Free-he made her feel
Free-she's paid the price
Free-she longs to be
Free-she's gonna be
Free-to live her life
Free-to live her life
He said he'll stay forever
They'd make a life together
He swore it was their destiny
Now all alone she understands
Between a woman and a man
Love is a spirit flying free
Free-she wants to be
Free-he made her feel
Free-she's paid the price
Free-she longs to be
Free-she's gonna be
Free-to live her life
Free-to live her life
Free-she wants to be
Free-he made her feel
Free-she's paid the price
Free-she longs to be
Free-she's gonna be
Free-to live her life
Free-to live her life
