Let me show you my emotions,
Tell you how I feel.
Hear my simple notions,
To me they're very real.
Can't you see they've got it wrong
Set their morals high.
But it all comes down to one simple fact:
In the end we all die.
So why can't we be free to do what we please,
Oh be free, get up off our knees,
Stop this facade, this silly game we play?
We set these rules which we can't obey.
It’s not real, this ain't how it should be.
This can't be life if we must pay a fee.
Break the chains and throw down the book,
Give me a chance to give back what they took.
Please take in what I tell you,
Don't throw it away.
For the wisdom of God
Is mine for today.
You live every hour
With a lover by your side,
But when morning has come,
You still have secrets to hide.
So tell me what you're feeling,
Let me touch your inner soul.
The reason I'm here,
Is to make you feel whole.
So quit your inhibitions.
The morals of this world
Forgot to think of one small point:
I'm a boy and you're a girl.
And we should be free to do what we please,
Oh, be free, get up off our knees,
Stop this facade, this silly game we play.
We set these rules which we can't obey.
It’s not real, this ain't how it should be.
This can't be life if we must pay a fee.
Break the chains and throw down the book,
Give me a chance to give back what they took.
I said what I had to say,
Said what makes me tick.
If you've listened to me thoroughly,
Then you and I are quits.
I may not have changed the way you think,
But at least I've had a try.
And I know that I'll have peace of mind,
When I die.
