One day I went walking
Down a lonesome road
And I came upon a stranger
In some faraway clothes
He said he was a soldier
I said where's your gun
He said I don't got no weapon
And I don't need one
I don't need no weapon
Cause I don't fight no war
I said well then Mr Soldier
What you fighting for
Well he didn't say nothing
He just smiled at me
And then I heard him whisper
You shall be free
Mhmm mhmm mhmm
Well excuse me mister
Are you saying I ain't free
Well I don't see no shackles
Or no chains on me
He said we're chained to our hatred
And shackled by greed
Too blind to see the wonder and mystery
We got to love one another
Give our love so strong
Love your brother man deeper
When he treats you wrong
When you love without limits unconditionally
When you love without fear
Then you shall be free
Mhmm mhmm mhmm
So I pried my heart open
As wide as the sea
And the strangest sensations came over me
I could see the clouds dancing
Felt a raindrop sting
I could hear the tiny beating of a
Butterfly wing
And as I sat in the middle
I felt this love unfold
A love too big
For this body to hold
That day I became a warrior
With no enemy
Now I am that funky soldier
And I shall be free
Mhmm mhmm mhmm
Now I ain't afraid of living
And I ain't scared to die
Cause I feel this vibration
That I can't deny
I can feel it singing through me
Like a symphony
And it tastes so sweet
Like destiny
It's in everything I touch
Everything I see
It's in every single fiber
Of my body
Every star every creature
Every leaf on every tree
Is a lesson and a blessing
And we shall be free
Mhmm mhmm mhmm
I shall
I shall
Be Free
I shall
I shall
Be Free
I shall
I shall
Be Free
