Let Your Life Be Free
T. Zchien & The Johnny Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl in the golden cage
Mustn't fragilely praise
Owner keeps on
Looking after her
How can I get
A lovely answer?

Bring me the news from you

Girl in the lonely home
Ever, never used to roam
Every minute, wasting her time
Every hour, wasting her life

Going around the world with me

Please, darling, please
Make your decision

Change, your situation
Come, walk along beside me

And let your life be free

Girl in the golden cage
Mustn't fragilely praise
Owner keeps on
Looking after her
How can I get
A lovely answer?

Bring me the news from you

Girl in the lonely home
Ever, never used to roam
Every minute, wasting her time
Every hour, wasting her life

Going around the world with me
And let your life be free
