I'm Free
Kenny Loggins/Franklean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If there's anything worth my love, it's worth a fight
We only get one chance
But nothing ties our hands
You're what I want
Listen to me
Nothing I want's out of my reach
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free)
Running away will never make you free
And nothing we sign is any kind of guarantee
I wanna hold you now
I won't hold you down
Shaking the past, making my breaks
Taking control
That's what it takes
(I'm free) Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here (I'm free)
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free)
I wanna hold you now
I won't hold you down
You're what I want
Listen to me
Nothing I want's out of my reach
(I'm free) Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free) Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free) Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
The song "I'm Free" by Kenny Loggins is a powerful message about the vital importance of not letting fear hold you back from going after what you want in life. The singer's confidence and determination to fight for what he believes in are evident in every line. Looking into the eyes of the person he loves, he knows he's right that she's worth the fight. He acknowledges that we only get one chance, but he's not going to let that stop him. Despite the odds, there is nothing he wants that's out of reach.
The chorus's melody and "I'm free" repeated refrain emphasize the idea that only by fighting fear and holding onto love can you be truly free. Running away from problems or signing onto promises won't guarantee freedom. Instead, you have to take control of your life, shaking off the past and making your own breaks. The singer's declaration that he won't hold down his love interest emphasizes the idea that true love is never about control or power. It's a partnership where both parties are free to grow and pursue their goals together.

I am in LOOOOVE!! There's a guy at work that is like 7 yrs younger than me and brings in dub-step and techno to listen to. I do like it and all, but I love finding older songs remixed to bring in. Old music never dies. Awesome.

Thanks to GTA V this track is increasingly popular. Let me remind the audience: Franklean tried to make "I'm Free" blend in with the rest of the fictional radiostation FLASH FM 1989. He got the compliments from Rockstar Games itself.
