Free Man
Samuel Gajicki Lyrics

I have lost a war
I have experienced defeat in my life, like losing a battle

I have been defeated
I have faced a significant setback, like losing in a war

I was shot by love
I experienced a strong attraction to someone, like being struck by a bullet

When love was all I needed
Love was the most important thing to me at that time

No more camouflage
I no longer need to hide or pretend to be someone else

Now that I'm a free man
Since I have let go of the things that held me back, I feel liberated

Believe me
I am telling the truth and hope you trust me

I might lose it all
I am aware that I could fail or lose everything I have

I might wake from dreaming
I could realize the things I thought were important or real were just a dream

Everything I've done
All my actions and accomplishments

Can end up with no meaning
Those actions and accomplishments could turn out to be meaningless

But I want you to know
I want to convey this message to you

That I no longer need it
I have come to the realization that I do not need those things to be happy

I don't have the time
I do not want to spend my time doing something that does not matter to me

To hear your talk
I do not want to listen to what you have to say

Make yourself
Take the initiative to become

Be someone
Become a better version of yourself

Everything I had is lost
I have lost everything I once had

But I'm a free man (A free man)
But I have gained my freedom from those things that were holding me back

I don't need to stay
I do not have to remain in a situation or place

And hear you say
Listen to your words

Remember what you did
Recall the actions you did in the past

The yesterdays
The things that happened in the past

Everything I was is gone
I have let go of the past and who I used to be

You can break my bones
You can cause me physical harm

You can hurt my feelings
You can cause me emotional pain

And try to shoot me down
You can attempt to bring me down

Stop my heart from beating
You cannot take away my happiness or passion for life

But I won't hide no more
I will no longer hide or avoid living my life to the fullest

Now that I'm a free man
Now that I am no longer tied down to anything, I feel free

Believe me
I am being honest and sincere

Yeah, I'm a free man (Free man)
I am truly free and unencumbered
