I been thinking, and that's a dangerous thing
It brings changes to the life I've been living
Somebody might not like it, but that's how its got to be
'cause life ain't worth a damn if it ain't free

Oh, Freedom you gotta take it where you find it
Love, the light shining inside 
All around us doors we open for ourselves
In the moment fully alive

Like trees in summer, we've been reaching for the sun
bending with the wind, letting life go on around us
We can stay that way, or let each other go
Which is it to be, I love you so

Oh, Freedom you gotta take it where you find it
Love, the light shining inside 
All around us doors we open for ourselves
In the moment fully alive

I'm lonely, but that's the price you pay
I'm lonely, but it's OK
I'm lonely, I won't always feel this way

There's a butterfly, on a rainy mountain side beneath the rolling sky
and when his wings have dried he'll be flying fast far and fancy free
Don't you know that butterfly is me

Oh, Freedom you gotta take it where you find it
Love, the light shining inside 
All around us doors we open for ourselves
In the moment fully alive

Maybe everybodies truth is different, just like grains of sand
I'll tell mine no matter what you say, I will stand
Even if nobody listens, or they laugh at me
I've come to far to give up now, I will stay

I've been thinking and that's a dangerous thing
It brings changes and it might hurt for awhile
but in our hearts and minds, from deep within our souls
there's a voice that won't be silenced or controlled

Oh, Freedom you gotta take it where you find it
Love, the light shining inside 
All around us doors we open for ourselves
In the moment fully alive
In the moment fully alive
