[00:19.45]I had it tough when I was just a little kid
[00:23.10]It didn't matter what I thought
[00:25.42]It didn't matter what I did
[00:28.81]I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start
[00:32.11]It did a number on my head but it could never touch my heart
[00:36.57]'Cause I had just enough imagination
[00:39.64]Just enough to keep the faith
[00:41.77]That somehow I would think of what to do
[00:45.50]When I'd get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion
[00:50.29]All the angels came around to help me through
[00:55.88]Life blows fast changes, wind blows past pages
[01:00.29]All I see is I don't need this
[01:04.88]High strung tightrope walk, ticking time bomb clock
[01:09.28]Scratch my name off, cut these chains
[01:12.99]I'm free.. kicking out of that prision
[01:17.72]I am free.. singing those words of wisdom
[01:22.34]Let it be.. nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me
[01:41.27]And in the stress to be the best I've done it all
[01:44.41]I've slammed the doors, I've jammed the locks
[01:46.93]I've laid the bricks, I've built the walls
[01:50.35]No one could tell me back then why joy eluded me
[01:54.17]Kept bumping into that misery locked up deep down inside of me
[01:59.40]Took that rage and I, turned that page and I
[02:03.67]Packed my tools, went back to school
[02:08.44]And I passed my graduation, and I hold my PH.D
[02:12.49]In crash test blues I paid those dues
[02:16.59]I'm free.. kicking out of that prision
[02:21.19]I am free.. singing those words of wisdom
[02:25.74]Let it be.. nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me
[02:35.37]Time flies by in photographs and paper scraps and songs
[02:44.28]Here I stand in ruby slippers, three taps takes me home
[02:55.20]I'm free
[03:04.84]I'm free
[03:13.28]I'm free.. kicking out of that prision
[03:17.80]I am free.. singing those words of wisdom
[03:22.31]Let it be.. (let it be)nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me
[03:29.23]Oh yeah..
[03:30.53]I am free
[03:33.21]I am free, yeah
[03:35.59]I am free
[03:38.00]I am free
[03:39.69]I am free
[03:42.40]I am free
[03:44.73]I am free, yeah...
[03:49.99]Time flies by in photographs and paper scraps and songs
[03:59.14]Here I stand in ruby slippers, three taps takes me home
[04:06.80]I am free
[04:17.36]Yeah, I'm free
[04:20.86]I am free, oh...
[04:28.05]Yeah, I'm free
[04:29.98]Free
