Take a deep breath it's okay
Some things are going to change
And growing can feel like pain
When others don't see things your way
Hurt people hurt people
We just keep on keeping score
We don't have to be a victim
We don't have to make more
We can be
We can be free, we can be free
Free, we can be free
Who we were won't define who we are gonna be
Free, we can be free
If we choose to be
When justice feels more like a myth
And proof is scarce if it exists
My human condition makes it
So hard to let go and let healing begin
Hurt people hurt people
We just keep on keeping score
We don't have to be a victim
We don't have to make more
We can be
We can be free, we can be free
Free, we can be free
Who we were won't define who we are gonna be
Free, we can be free
If we choose to be
Let love be the way
That we think
That we speak
That we dream
Love is the only way we change
It's the only way
It's not an option
It's the only way
We can be free, we can be free
Free, we can be free
Who we were won't define who we are gonna be
Free, we can be free
If we choose to be
Hey yeah, hey
We are free, we are free
Yeah, we can choose to be
