Crying to Be Free

((c)2000 Ben Travis)
(verse 1)

Sometimes life is funny
Sometimes life is sad
Sometimes life can break your heart
or make you mad

Sometimes life is lonely
No one understands
Sometimes you look up to the sky
and wring your hands

Sometimes you are helpless
Sometimes you are strong
Sometimes you don't know right from left
or right from wrong

Sometimes you look in the mirror
You like what you see
But sometimes the person looking back at you
is crying to be free...
Crying to be free...
Crying to be free

(verse 2)

You used to like roller coasters
When you were a kid
But sometimes life makes you more queasy
than they ever did

Spinning 'round in circles
All day long today
You hear some preacher preachin'
about a better way

When did you arrive here?
It's not the life you planned
You always thought you'd end up
in the Promised Land

Yesterday you locked your heart up
Now you can't find the key
All the while something inside you
is crying to be free...
crying to be free...
crying to be free

Sometimes life is funny
Sometimes life is sad
Sometimes life can break your heart
or make you mad
