feeling free
Soul II Soul Lyrics

Well, hello let's start back again
Let's start over and try again

On the same plane, in the same pane
On the same level, in the same world

But I'm movin', movin' in a new direction
I'm moving towards something new and different

A new section with a selection of rhymes
A new chapter with new choices and options

Hot to make you unwind
Intended to relax and ease your tension

This is time to just feel fine
This is a time to feel good and enjoy life

Well, ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
Isn't this how life is supposed to be?

Are you feeling free?
Are you feeling liberated and unrestricted?

And it goes
And the beat continues

Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Repetitive nonsensical phrases in the song

Well, feeling free, release your inhibitions
Feeling free means letting go of your fears and doubts

Go forth, achieve your ambitions
Move forward and accomplish your goals

Your goals, your aims, whatever you claim to be yours
Your personal aspirations and objectives

If that's the nature of this game
If that's how life works

The game is life and life's so hard
Life is like a game and it can be challenging

Even more if you get down with the wrong card
It can be even harder if things don't go your way

Well, play to win, don't give in
Try your best and don't give up

'Cause seriously, I'll tell you something
Because I want to tell you something important

It ain't no joke 'cause if you can't cope
It's not funny because if you can't handle it

And your whole life's going up in smoke
And your entire life is going downhill

Or you're feeling down
Or you're feeling sad and discouraged

Lost and rejected
Feeling lost and unwanted

And all you want to be is respected
And all you want is to be valued by others

By society and the community
By the people around you

Because ain't that the way it's supposed to be
Because isn't that how things are meant to be?

I mean feeling free
I mean being liberated and unrestricted

Well, this society is sayin' what you can and can't do
This society tells you what is and isn't acceptable

But in my mind as I say is that true?
But I wonder if that's really accurate?

Like the man that they said is unemployable
Example of someone society overlooks or undervalues

How could he ever live a life enjoyable?
How can he find happiness in life?

When he faked the feelings of no use
When he pretended to be worthless or insignificant

After all take the abuse and shame recall the promenade
Endured mistreatment and humiliation and remembered past events

How could he ever be in the right frame of mind?
How can he be mentally healthy or balanced?

When his life is unkind
When his life is unfair or harsh

Nobody wants to take the time to say
Nobody wants to invest the effort to tell him

Listen there's another way
Listen, there is another path or solution

You don't have to live your life in this downtrodden way
You don't have to continue living in this miserable state

Maybe your job isn't the answer
Perhaps your job isn't the solution

But take a look up
Raise your attention to other possibilities

And take a glance at the alternatives
And consider other options available to you

And what it has to give and put that in the way
And what it can offer and follow that path

That you wanna live your life, yeah
That you want to live life, your way

Do what you wanna do
Pursue what you desire to do

Really what you wanna do
Truly what you are passionate about

Whatever comes to you naturally
Whatever you naturally excel at or enjoy doing

Yo, so if you ever havin' a problem
So if you have any problem

Don't run and hide, come out and face it head on
Don't avoid it, confront it directly

Because you're strong enough to win
You have the strength to overcome it

And go on to pass through the test that life has to offer
And continue to progress through the challenges life presents

And beat it with ease and be on top of the cloud
And overcome it easily and be successful

All the while and when you finished that
Throughout the entire experience and after you overcome it

Emerge with a smile upon your face and that way
Come out of it with a smile on your face, and in this manner

We'll have a happy face and funky face for a loving race
We'll have a happy and lively spirit for a warm and welcoming community

And that's being free and you all know how it goes
And that's what feeling free is, and you all understand how it works

It goes
The song continues
