Free Again
Monifah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm, mmm
I cherish the simple days
There were no problems to complicate life
No bad relations to weigh me down

'Cause I feel so different now
If I could put all my pain today
Inside a bottle to float away
I would return to the time when I
I could just spread my wings and fly

[Chorus]
I want to be free again and fly away
To the place where love is
And there's no pain
Now I cross my heart and I hope to fly
The skies so high
All my cares I leave behind

It don't matter
No matter what comes
I want to go to a place where I can run
Free from the heartache, from the heartbreak
From whatever makes me want to get away

I need some time to free my mind
There's no telling what I might find inside
I might find myself
I want to spread my wings and fly

[Chorus]

I don't need nobody else
To find myself, all by myself
I need to be
All I want to do

(All I want to do)
Is find my way back to myself
To hear myself, want to feel myself
To reveal myself for the world to see

That I'm free
(That I'm free)
Free again

[Monifah's daughter](Monifah)
Mommy
(Yes baby)
I want to go to Disney's World and to the movies
And rollerblading and I want to go all around the world

You know what mommy
Wherever you want to go, I want to go
I want you to be happy
'Cause I love you mommy

And I love you very, very much
[kiss]

[Monifah]
I love you very much too baby
And I'm your best friend, forever
Remember that





[Reepat Chorus]
