I open my eyes, each morning I rise,
to find the truth I know that is there.
I'm lucky to breathe, I'm lucky to feel,
I'm glad to wake up, I'm glad to be here.
With all of this world, and all of its pain,
All of its lies, and all of its let downs.
I still feel a sense of freedom -
So glad I'm around.

It's my freedom, can't take it from me,
I know it won't change;
But, we need some understanding,
I know we'll be alright.
It's my freedom, can't take it from me,
I know it won't change;
But, we need some understanding,
I know we'll be alright.

Alright.

The day I am gone, and the day that I leave,
I'll never regret one minute of life.
I've learned from the joy, I've learned from the tears.
I've walked through the dark, now I seen a light.
Every tongue of everyone in every state of every land,
Has everything to be thankful for, yea, yea, ey!

It's my freedom, can't take it from me,
I know it won't change;
But, we need some understanding,
I know we'll be alright.
It's my freedom, can't take it from me,
I know it won't change;
But, we need some understanding,
'Cause I, I wait on you,
'Cause you wait on me - so I wait on you.

I open my eyes, each morning I rise,
To find the truth I know that is there.
I can't tell you how, you can't tell me why -
But living my life is all that I care.
The burden can be, sometimes, bigger than me,
Sometimes, stronger than me, and hard to bear.
But I couldn't care less, no stress, 'cause,
Jah put me here.

It's my freedom, can't take it from me,
I know it won't change;
But, we need some understanding,
I know we'll be alright.
It's my freedom, can't take it from me,
I know it won't change;
But, we need some understanding,
I know you know -
I wait on you, 'cause you wait on me -
So I wait on you, you know I..
I will always wait on you -
You wait on me. I wait on you.
Alright.
