Let me show you what it feels like
To be me
To be free
Times gone
And past has conclusions
My life like yours
Of things the way
We only see
If there's a chance I can make it
You bet your ass I'm a take it
Out there's a life waiting just for me
I show you what its like to be free
I'll tell you what its like to be me
I'll show you what its like to be me (free)
It feels good yeah!
What it feels like
What it feels like
What it feels like
What it feels like
Some say that life's what you make it
Sometime there's a hand you should take it
And where it leads there you will be
Come now life is really a dream
Let go you'll see what I mean
Out there's a reason to believe

I'll show you what its like to be free

Come and set my spirit free
Take me beyond the limits
And let me find release
