I open my eyes each morning I rise, to find a [bad word] 
thought, know that it's real, 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 it's pain, all
of it's lies, and all of it's flipped down, 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, it
won't change, but we need some understanding, I know
we'll be all right.

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 fought through the dark, now i see the light,
every tounge of everyone, in every state, of every
land,
has everything to be thankful for,

It's my freedom, can't take it from me, i know it, it
won't change,
but we need some understanding, I know it be all
right,

It's my freedom, can't take it from me, i know it, 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 a [bad word] 
thought, know that it's real, I can't tell you how,
you can't tell me why, but livin' my life, is all i
care, the verdict can be sometimes bigger than me,
sometimes stronger than me, and hard to bare, but i
could careless, oh just cause Jah put me here.
