I Am Free
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost inside myself
With the world surrounding me
Wandering through the misery
But now I am free
You gave me a breath of life
Unclouded my eyes
Lighting a ray of hope for me
And now I am free
Free to live
Free to laugh
Free to soar
Free to shine
Free to give
Free to love
Free enough to fly
Once I was all so alone
Unsteady and cold
But your love rained down upon me
Washing away uncertainty
But now
I am
Now, oh, now
Now
I am free, I am free
The lyrics to Mariah Carey's "I Am Free" are a reflection of someone who has gone through a major transformation, from being a prisoner and lost within their own self to finding true freedom in their life. The first verse begins with the songwriter admitting to feeling trapped, lost, and hopeless. However, throughout the song, this mood dramatically shifts to one of joy, positivity, and liberation. This change is portrayed through the metaphor of being unclouded and given new breath of life, exemplifying a spiritual and emotional awakening.
The chorus highlights the newfound freedom and lists the different types of freedoms the songwriter feels now that they have broken free from their past. They feel free to live, laugh, soar, shine, give, love, and able to fly away from their former state. The second verse emphasizes the impact of love in achieving this newfound freedom. Carey sings about feeling lonely and uncertain, but love gradually washed away these negative feelings, paving the way to freedom.
The song is powerful in its message, connecting with anyone who has felt held captive by their own thoughts and emotions. It is a reminder that love, hope, and faith can provide a way out of a difficult situation. And while there may be hardships, they can be overcome. With hope and courage, freedom is attainable.
