Patrick Juvet - I Don't Wanna Be Free

Long ago it was summertime Walking down by the water line Heard your voice calling through the night I looked around, no one else in sight All alone Could it be I'm imagining Or was this dream really happening To me Oh, I was young and I wanted to be near you To wrap my soul in your sound so I could hear you The song you sang kept ringing in my ears Ringing in my ears Ringing in my ears Autumn winds turned the leaves to flame Will summer nights never be the same Knowing then that I couldn't stay Turned up my collar and walked away Through the night Still your voice calling after me Running wild you can't capture me 'Cause I Had a song of my own I had to sing I had to see on my own what life would bring I only wanted a chance to try my wings A chance to try my wings A chance to try my wings A chance So I closed my eyes Shook my fist at the sky I just want to be free Racing inside So much passing me by I just want to be free I only wanted to listen to the music To take my life in my hands and learn to use it all Reaching out Reaching out Reaching out loud Jumbled dreams in a jumbo jet No matter where in the world it went Taking off for the promised land Fasten your sit belt and take a stand On my own Became a star with a silver spoon Taking the world on a honeymoon Singing I gave my body to anyone who'd take it And my heart, I'm surprised the didn't break it Running scared, I was learning how to fake it Learning how to fake it Learning how to fake it When opened my eyes I was in my disguise And I thought I was free Screaming inside Leaving nothing untried And I thought I was free I wanted everyone else to play my music I took their lives in my hands and learned how to use it all Shattered dreams of the life I knew They're scattered now on the avenue Money, fame, mediocrity All the friends that surrounded me I could buy Heart in hand, needing you again If I come back, will you take me in Knowing I let you down, let me take it up to you Never again will I place someone above you So little time for learning how to love you Learning how to love you Learning how to love I took off my disguise You can see in my eyes I don't want to be free Dying inside Just to be by your side I don't want to be free I'm only wanting to serve you in my music I place my love in your hands go on and use it Reaching in Reaching in Reaching inside (Bill Bowersock, Matt Vernon)
