I Want to Be Free
Takana Zion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh oh, this is my freedom song
For you, I mean
I say, I want to be free
Like a bird in the sky
To like to fly
Over the hills
On lointains
On rastafaaara
I say, I want to be free
Versus 1: Tell me where I can guest
So lovers in Jah's Bill
Show me where I can guest
So justice and negrity
Tell me when shall I see
People live in unity
Tell me show me where I can find
So blessed mind
Whose ways of think
Is speci

I say, I want to be free
Like a bird in the sky
To like to fly
Over the hills
On lointains




On rastafaaara
I say, I want to be free
