I WANT A FREE WORLD
James McKinley Ellis

When I was a young man, my life was at ease
I had the whole world for my eyes to see
I saw mountains and clouds, and clear blue skies
I was so happy just to be alive

Time kept going - it never did stop
One day on my head the world did drop
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds all deep and dark and gray
They pushed my clear - pushed my clear blue skies away

The peace & love that I always knew
Were gone from my crystal skies of blue
(You know what I said?!?)

I want a free, a free world
I want a free, freeeeeeeeee world
I want a free, a free world
And we are free, oh yes, this is Free- -- FreeWorld!

The rat race is picking up the pace
Pushing me all around the place
Call me a fool and tell me what to do
Spit in my face, make my dreams seem blue

But I know - I know I can see
There's a better life for you and me
Somewhere inside my head
All the peace and love does spread

I want a free, a free world
I want a free, freeeeeeeeee world
I want a free, a free world
And we are Free- -- FreeWorld!

The rat race is picking up the pace
Pushing me all around the place
Call me a fool, tell me what to do
But all my dreams I know they will come true

I got dreams just like you
They lie in those crystal skies of blue
And I know just what I see
The world I know is supposed to be free

I want a free, a free world
I want a free, freeeeeeeeee world
I want a free, a free world
And we are Free- -- FreeWorld!

FreeWorld - Somebody help me find it now!
FreeWorld - I gotta have it now!

Take away the pain
Baby, take the rain
That’s in my brain
Oh, I can’t complain

FreeWorld, FreeWorld, FreeWorld, FreeWorld..........
