I open my eyes, each morning I rise
To find a true thought, I know that it's real
I'm lucky to breathe, I'm lucky to feel
I'm glad to wake up, I'm glad to be here
With all of this world, and all of it's pain
All of it's lies, and all of it's let down
I still feel a sense of freedom
So glad I'm around
It's my freedom, can't take it from me
I know it, it won't change
But, we need some understanding
I know we'll be all right
All right
The day I am gone, and the day that I leave
I'll never regret one minute of life
I've learned from the joy, I've learned from the tears
I've fought through the dark, now I see the light
Every tounge of everyone
In every state, of every land
Has everything to be thankful for
It's my freedom, can't take it from me
I know it, it won't change
But we need some understanding
I know we'll be all right
It's my freedom, can't take it from me
I know it, it won't change
But we need some understanding
'Cause I, I wait on you
'Cause you wait on me, so I wait on you
I open my eyes, each morning I rise
To find a true thought, know that it's real
I can't tell you how, you can't tell me why
But living my life, is all I care
The burden can be, sometimes bigger than me
Sometimes stronger than me, and hard to bare
But I couldn't care less, no stress 'cause
Jah put me here
It's my freedom, can't take it from me
I know it, it won't change
But, we need some understanding
I know we'll be all right
It's my freedom, can't take it from me
I know it, it won't change
But, we need some understanding
I know you know
I wait on you
'Cause you wait on me
So I wait on you
