Ooohh..all right
Let the music free up your mind
Free up your mind
Free up your mind
Hey you, over there
See me i had no soul
Till i found myself with rock n roll

Free up your mind
The lyrics of P.F.'s song "Hey You" are an inspiring call to action to anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, inviting them to let go of their problems and allow the power of music to set them free. The song's message is clear: the world can be a tough, confusing place, but music has the power to heal, to transform, and to uplift us, if we are willing to let it.
The first verse of the song, "Free up your mind, Let the music free up your mind", urges listeners to open their minds to the power of music, to be receptive to its rhythms, and to let it carry them away. The second verse starts off with a direct call to action: "Hey you, over there, I know you got a problem but don't despair". This line acknowledges that listeners are likely struggling with something, but there is hope: the singer found "soul" through rock n roll, and the listener can too.
The final lines of the song make a direct plea: "Let the music free up your mind, and it will help you to find." There is a sense that music can unlock some secret, essential aspect of ourselves that we may not even realize is there. The repetition of the phrase "Free up your mind" underscores the song's central message, that we have the power to transcend our problems if we are willing to let go and let music work its magic.
