I met a man locked away
For things he hadn’t done
Innocence on a ball and chain
He’ll never feel the sun
Again on his face or roses in his hands
But when he smiled at me
I could understand
If you’re free you’ll never see the walls
If your head is clear you’ll never free fall
If you’re right you’ll never fear the wrong
If your head is high
You’ll never fear at all
There was a daughter of a man
Who took his life too young
She swore she’d never do the same
Then did just what he’d done
And a boy who’s gone insane
With voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mother’s dead
If you’re free you’ll never see the walls
If your head is clear you’ll never free fall
If you’re right you’ll never fear the wrong
If your head is high
You’ll never fear at all
There was a man who had a face
That looked a lot like me
I saw him in the mirror and
I fought him in the street
And when he turned away
I shot him in the head
Then I came to realize
I had killed myself
If you’re free you’ll never see the walls
If your head is clear you’ll never free fall
If you’re right you’ll never fear the wrong
If your head is high
You’ll never fear
